Transform Your Life
12–14 June 2013, 9.30am–3.30pm
Checkland Building

Join us on a three-day employability course to develop positive techniques to present and promote yourself confidently in the current jobs market.

If you have graduated recently and are seeking to improve your employability skills, then we would like to offer you a place on the ‘Transform Your Life’ (TYL) programme.

The programme is designed to give you the skills, motivation and confidence to get the job you want.

We have run TYL courses at the university for the past three years. This is what some of our participants told us:

"I feel more positive about who I am, what I want to do and who I want to be. I feel more confident in my ability to draw out more strengths and values and transfer these to my application and interview."

"By making me think differently and giving me more confidence, it changed my attitude to 'I can' instead of 'I don’t know if I can'."

"I learned that I am OK. I can realise my potential and I am not alone. There are different strategies to achieve your peak performance."

"This course has been inspiring in all senses and I came out of it inspired and with a new energy to just go out there and do it."

"I learnt techniques to make me feel better about myself, and learnt the importance of valuing myself, rather than being modest."

"I felt listened to, nurtured and supported."

Each year we put on a number of careers events to assist both recent and more mature graduates. 

These include local courses and workshops are well as online webinars.  Our webinars can be accessed from all over the world and are presented live by a qualified instructor.  You get to type in questions and network with fellow alumni whilst you participate.

In 2012 we ran webinars on negotiating a pay rise, using technology in your career as well as changing careers mid-life.

You can download the e-books from each of these webinars here.

“The webinar was very good. I have covered much of this at various times, but was clear and well-articulated. This was my first experience with this form of webinar and it was well done.”
