The course aims to bridge the gap between school and higher education, and help young adults choose the right degree or career. The course will be of particular interest to those in the early stages of their career, or those who are out of practice and need to update their skills.
The course teaches you how to write successful applications, whether you are applying for jobs or to study at a university. The course goes through the different parts of the application process. Moreover, the course helps you to identify the skills you have gained through your work experience and your studies and shows you how you can match them to job advertisements or course requirements.
We’ll share top tips with you to help you write exceptional applications, CVs (or résumés), covering letters and personal statements and provide insight from employers and admissions tutors on what they look for in candidates. We’ll go on to help you examine your digital footprint and develop a professional profile online,
