Our Work with Universities & Graduates

How do we work with universities?

We work with universities, undergraduates and graduates to support them with developing the 7 skills to help them succeed in today’s fast-moving and uncertain world.

7 skills for graduates

These are the skills students really need to cope in today’s fast paced, high pressured and uncertain world. Whether online or face-to-face, our high impact sessions focus on building stronger self-awareness of adaptability, empathy, critical thinking, integrity, optimism, being proactive and resilient. We align them with university employability and wellbeing skills objectives.

What university students say

“

"I liked how open and free the session was, I was able to share my ideas and experiences with other students. I loved the environment, how free it was and the arrangement of the room. It was very stimulating and made me want to explore the environment that I was in."

"I wasn't confident in attending the workshop but I’m so glad I mustered the courage to come and learn new things and new strategies. I believe I have low self-esteem and confidence but now I am able to say that I have confidence and that my self-esteem about myself has increased."

“When talking about moving trying new things and new experiences in order to break patterns and make progress one participant spoke about “That funny feeling you get” to refer to the feeling of nervousness we experience when we are out of our comfort zone and said that they understood the power of saying “yes” to push through that feeling.”

“Affinity Sutton worked with Unimenta on the Advantage 7 Skills for the Future programme, aimed at helping residents with significant barriers into work. The programme was very structured and provided the foundation needed to help residents change their outlook on life; challenged their negative perceptions and allowed them to step out of their world and take a birds eye view of their situation.”
