Empower your students to build professional confidence, visibility and career opportunities on LinkedIn
LinkedIn Career Readiness Programmes and workshops that help students, graduates and professional teams build confidence, increase visibility and create meaningful career opportunities.
Why This Matters
Today’s students are entering one of the most competitive graduate markets in history. A degree alone is no longer enough. Employers increasingly expect graduates to have:
✓ a professional LinkedIn presence and a strong personal brand
✓ networking confidence
✓ the ability to build relationships before they even graduate
Yet many students have never been shown how.
Without guidance, many students:
- struggle to position themselves professionally online with incomplete profiles
- miss valuable networking and career opportunities
- feel intimidated and overwhelmed by LinkedIn
- graduate with little professional visibility
- and remain invisible to employers despite having strong skills and academic achievements
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Students who don’t learn how to use LinkedIn strategically risk remaining invisible to employers, despite having excellent academic achievements.
Many don’t begin networking until after graduation by which point they’ve missed months or even years of relationship-building opportunities.
In today’s job market, knowing how to build a professional network is becoming just as valuable as the qualifications themselves.
My programmes bridge that gap with practical, supportive and actionable training that helps students:
- increase professional confidence
- improve visibility to employers
- strengthen online networking skills
- take ownership of their career development
Students are building professional brands long before graduation

Why Organisations Choose a Programme Instead of a One-Off Workshop
A single workshop can inspire whereas a programme creates lasting behavioural change.
By spacing the sessions over several weeks, attendees have time to implement what they’ve learned, build confidence through practice and return with real questions. This approach leads to stronger engagement, greater accountability and more meaningful long-term outcomes.
Let’s Design the Right Programme for Your Students or Team to help improve graduate outcomes, student confidence and employability.
LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network with over 1.3 billion users.
The mission of LinkedIn is simple: connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful.
Job Search Trends: 79% of job applicants use LinkedIn as part of their job search strategy. (Glassdoor)
Fastest-Growing Demographic: Generation Z (born 1997–2012) is LinkedIn’s fastest-growing audience, making up 10% of the platform’s global user base. (Search Engine Journal)
Employee Advocacy: Content shared by employees gets 8x more engagement than content posted by brand channels. (Social Media Today)
Students are graduating into a competitive market but often don’t know how to position themselves professionally online.
Frequently Asked Questions (click here to read)
1. Can we book a one-off workshop or a programme?
Absolutely. Some organisations choose a standalone workshop to introduce students or staff to LinkedIn.
However, many choose a bespoke programme delivered over several weeks or months. This allows attendees to implement what they’ve learned between sessions, build confidence gradually and return with questions as they progress.
Programmes typically deliver greater engagement, stronger accountability and longer-lasting results than a single workshop.
2. What might a LinkedIn programme look like?
Programmes can also be completely bespoke depending on your objectives.
My LinkedIn Career Readiness Program typically includes:
Session 1 – Build Your LinkedIn Profile (Part One)
Creating a strong first impression and understanding how recruiters use LinkedIn.
Session 2 – Build Your LinkedIn Profile (Part Two)
Optimising every section of the profile and positioning yourself professionally.
Session 3 – Networking with Confidence
Growing the right network, writing effective connection requests and starting meaningful conversations.
Session 4 – Content & Professional Visibility
Creating engaging content, building credibility and staying visible without spending hours online.
Each session builds on the previous one, giving attendees time to apply what they’ve learned before moving on.
3. Can the programme be tailored?
Whether your focus is:
- employability
- networking

- apprenticeship programmes
- alumni engagement

I’ll tailor the programme around your audience, objectives and timescales.

6. Are sessions virtual or in person?
I now deliver my programmes virtually via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
In my experience, this actually creates a better learning experience.
Students and staff can gather together in a lecture theatre, classroom or meeting room while I join live.
Sessions can be recorded so attendees can revisit the content whenever they need it.
Those unable to attend live don’t miss out.
Attendees can pause, replay and implement the practical demonstrations at their own pace.
It’s a flexible, modern approach that fits the way many organisations learn today.
7. Will attendees receive follow-up resources?
Yes. Every programme includes practical resources to help attendees put their learning into action, including:
- LinkedIn profile checklist
- networking outreach templates
- practical action guides
Recordings can also be provided (subject to organisational approval).
Many universities find these particularly valuable before careers fairs, placements, interviews and graduation.
8. How long are the sessions?
Sessions are available in:
- 60 minutes
- 90 minutes
- 120 minutes
Programmes can be delivered weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
9. What results can attendees expect?
Attendees typically leave with:
a stronger LinkedIn profile
greater networking confidence
increased professional visibility
clearer career action plans
more confidence engaging with employers and industry professionals
One piece of feedback I often receive is:
“The students came away buzzing with action plans and enthusiasm.”
10. Have you worked with universities and organisations before?
Yes. Previous clients include:
- University of Exeter Business School
- London South Bank University
- Oxford Brookes University
- London Metropolitan University

Standalone workshops typically start from £1,500.
