SEED programmes are designed to help you bridge the gap between your expectations of the world of work, and the reality of it. Coaching, mentoring and networking activities will enable the exploration, expansion, and/or refinement of your employability skills to help you prepare for your career. 

How SEED employability coaching works

Employability skills, as well as an entrepreneurial mindset, can be developed through employability coaching. SEED uses this method to enhance employability skills and entrepreneurial mindsets through positive interactions with experienced entrepreneurs and successful members of the workforce. Coaching workshops will involve activity-based training to broaden your understanding of the world of work in terms of employer expectations and personal growth. You’ll have the opportunity to attend 10 workshops focused on employability and entrepreneurship led by accredited life coaches, and 3 networking sessions to engage with like-minded peers.

You will:

  • develop self-management skills, i.e. learn to manage your thoughts, feelings and actions
  • develop transferable skills, i.e. skills that will benefit you no matter your role/occupation
  • improve your communication and problem-solving skills
  • improve your teamwork and leadership skills
  • learn how to manage your personal and business finances.

Employability coaching is the first step to tackling your career head-on. You’ll be able to address any fears and concerns with advice and guidance from industry experts.
