Undergraduate Programme
Looking for the ideal job? The earlier you start the easier it will be.
If you want to secure a graduate level job soon after leaving university you'll need to apply at the beginning of your final year.
In order for your application to be taken seriously, it must demonstrate that you have the skills the employer is looking for and some relevant work experience.
In order to get the best work experience you need to apply for it at the beginning of your penultimate year.
If you are doing a three year course, this means the sooner you work out what it is you want to do the better your chances become.
Made to measure for you
At Future Prospect we listen to our clients and we recognise that you will make your career plans at the moment that suits you best. So we have worked out a flexible programme designed to fit in with this.
The programme has three significant stages:
- Working out what your talents are
- Finding out where you will do well
- Planning how to get there
These stages are addressed with a combination of Careers Analysis meetings and the following electives:
- Personality Workplace Assessment
- Job Search Strategy
- CV Building
- Application Form Technique
- Interview Training
- Gap Year Consultation
