Career Readiness Training for School Leavers & Graduates
Schools and universities do a great job when it comes to imparting knowledge but struggle when it comes to getting students and graduates ready for the complexities and challenges of the modern workplace.
Ask any hiring manager and they will tell you that the chances of a new hire succeeding in a role more often than not depend upon their 'X factor' - i.e. who they are and how they operate - rather than the qualifications they hold.
The skills and attributes you need to build a great career are all learnable and connect and combine to build your own, unique 'X-factor' to help you ...
Kick start your future.
Tailored Career Readiness Training
NCEA and tertiary qualifications show that a certain level of understanding has been achieved but don't say anything about the person themselves, their personality, power skills or their approoach to working. Research clearly shows that it's those things that set high achievers apart from their colleagues and while many people think that they are skills and attributes you are either born with or pick up over a course of a career...
The reality is very different.
Self-awareness, power skills and working style are all highly learnable and we know how to teach them. Our courses and optional personal coaching can span a wide range of topics including (but definitely not limited to):
