Kickstart your career
Being successful at work and building a satisfying career is a lifelong process. We learn by doing, from our triumphs and mistakes. To kickstart our career we can hone our skills and acquire new tools, techniques and approaches. This tailored programme, available in-house only, consists of a series of modules to support people to excel in their career. It provides people with the knowledge, tools and resources to perform effectively, work well with others and flourish.
How the programme is designed depends on your needs and the needs of your organisation. You may choose one of the Success at Work modules shown below, or create a programme consisting of a series of modules. You can also include our other training courses within your overall programme. For example, incorporating our Managing Multiple Priorities, Project Management, Assertive Conversations, or Transformational Presentation Skills courses within the overall programme.

If you have 6 or more people to train it's worth getting in touch to discuss in-house options.
These include:
- your choice of structure – as well as choosing dates to suit you, you can also decide whether to have the content delivered in full days, half-day sessions or bitesize sessions over separate days.
- tailoring options – if you're looking to focus on particular elements of the programme, we can look into this.
- self-directed learning – this enables participants to set learning goals, acquire knowledge and skills, set their own actions and evaluate themselves using a customised web portal which we'll build for you.
In order to make sure your in-house training needs are met, the best way to start this process is with a conversation (for free of course).
