how does it work?

The programme takes place over 2-3 months. There are 4 workshops of between 2-2.5 hours supported by 20 hours of fascinating, eye opening elearning content. We have a follow up workshop after 6 months.

The programme takes you through the 4 steps outlined below. During the 'explore' phase we help you connect and meet with other people by introducing you to experts and other community members doing work you'd like to learn more about.  Where it's appropriate and depending on the sector, we can also help organise job shadowing and work experience opportunities.

One size does not fit all which is why the core programme is supported by our wider events programme. The person searching for a job may (for example) be recommended to attend the LinkedIn masterclass - whereas another looking to set up her own art gallery may be recommended a one on one understanding how to use google sheets for basic accounting. The beauty of a community of more than 600 members, 250+ experts and an incredible advisory board is there is almost no area where we can't pull on our wider resources to help you. When we say practical, we mean it.
