Who I work with
This service is suitable for:
Adults considering a career change or a new direction
Professionals who want to progress in their current career

People preparing for an interview, promotion or selection process
Managers and professionals who want to improve performance, confidence or effectiveness at work

Adult Career Development & Coaching Programme
Six months of individual career development and coaching
For adults who want structured, sustained support with a significant period of career development, change or progression.
The Adult Career Development & Coaching Programme combines comprehensive psychometric assessment with individual career development and regular one-to-one coaching over six months.
It provides the time to properly understand your current position, explore different possibilities, make decisions, take action and review what happens as you begin moving forward.
Most adults will not require this level of support. The programme is designed for people who want a more sustained development process than a one-off career consultation or shorter series of coaching sessions.

Graduate Career Launch & Coaching Programme
Six months of individual career development and coaching
Moving from education into professional working life can involve some of the biggest career decisions you have made so far.
You may have a degree but still be uncertain about where you want to take it. You may be considering several different career directions. Or you may know broadly where you want to go but need help turning that direction into a practical plan.
The Graduate Career Launch & Coaching Programme provides six months of structured one-to-one support to help you understand yourself, explore your options, make informed career decisions and begin taking practical steps towards your professional future.
Rather than trying to resolve everything in one or two conversations, the programme gives you time to explore, decide, act, review and adjust as your career plans develop.

Graduate Career Development
Psychometric assessment, career guidance and follow-up coaching
Graduate Career Development is an assessment-led service for graduates who want greater clarity about their career direction but do not require six months of ongoing support.
The process combines comprehensive psychometric assessment with professional career guidance and follow-up coaching.
It is particularly suited to graduates who are asking questions such as:
What type of work might suit me? Where could my degree take me? What other careers could I consider? Which of the options I am considering fits me best?
Psychometric assessment provides a structured way of exploring career interests, abilities, personality and working preferences. These results are considered alongside the graduate's education, experience, circumstances, priorities and existing career ideas.
The purpose is not to use assessment results to prescribe a particular career. Instead, they provide additional information that can help identify patterns, generate possibilities and support more informed career decisions.
What’s Included
Comprehensive psychometric assessment of career interests, abilities and personality
Detailed personalised career assessment report
Career Development Portfolio
Initial 90-minute one-to-one career development consultation
Three 50-minute follow-up coaching sessions
Exploration of relevant career areas, occupations and sectors
Research and comparison of potential career directions
Consideration of graduate opportunities and routes into relevant careers
Exploration of further study or professional training where appropriate
Personalised career-development resources
Individual action planning and next steps
The three follow-up coaching sessions provide an opportunity to take the initial career exploration further. Potential directions can be investigated, new information reviewed and practical next steps developed.
Who Is It For?
This service may be particularly appropriate for graduates who are uncertain about their career direction and want psychometric assessment to form part of the process.
It provides a more comprehensive assessment and guidance process than coaching alone, without requiring the sustained six-month support of the Graduate Career Launch & Coaching Programme.
