career development FOR ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS
Prepare Students and Alumni for a Job Market that won’t stand still
Academic knowledge is only part of what graduates need to build successful, meaningful careers.
I design practical career-development workshops that help students and alumni understand their options, communicate their value and develop the skills to navigate an increasingly complex world of work.
Tailored to your participants, programme and institutional priorities, each session complements your existing careers provision and turns uncertainty into practical action.

AI is reshaping how employers hire. Skills are evolving. Career paths are becoming less linear. Students and alumni need more support to make sound career decisions and stay relevant.
At the same time, many career services teams already feel stretched.
You may be experiencing:
- Students who feel unsure about how to compete in today’s job market
- Alumni coming back for help with career changes, layoffs, or reskilling
- Growing pressure to improve employability outcomes
- Your career team struggling to keep up with changing hiring practices
- Having limited time and resources to create and deliver new career development support.
Your students and alumni need guidance that reflects the world of work as it is now — not as it was five years ago.
That’s where I can help.
I work with academic institutions to provide practical, up-to-date career development support through the delivery of:
• Individual sessions
• Interactive workshops
• One-on-one coaching
Support can be tailored around the career development needs of your institution has idenftified.
Topics can include:
- Career planning and decision-making
- Job search strategy
- LinkedIn Profiles, CVs and applications
- Interview preparation
- Networking
- Career transitions
- Building long-term career skills
All of these would include materials on using AI effectively in career development and job search.

Help Them Keep Up With a Changing World of Work
Getting a first job is only the start of career development.
Today, people are likely to face many changes over the course of their working lives.
They may need to:
• Change roles
• Move into a new industry
• Learn new skills
• Recover from redundancy
• Adapt to new technology
• Rethink their career direction
That means students and alumni need more than job search tips.
They need the ability to understand themselves, assess opportunities, make sound career decisions, build the right skills and reputation, and proactively take action so they maintain their value.
The more prepared they are, the more confident and capable they become and the better thy can weather any storm.
Support That Works Alongside Your Career Team
If you already have a career centre, great!
My role is not to replace it.
I provide support where your team needs additional capacity, specialist input, or a fresh outside voice.
That may mean bringing in a workshop on a timely topic, delivering a series of career development sessions, or offering one-on-one coaching for people who need more personal support.
It gives your institution a way to expand what you offer without asking your internal team to create and deliver everything.
