Career Planning

This module explores career development and the five career stages. We will look  at the importance of goal setting and the creation of an effective career  plan. Furthermore, we will look at the importance of development  opportunities in the workplace and will uncover the benefits for  organisations who invest in their workforce and support career development.

Hiring Right First Time

Designed to help interviewers with the hiring process, this module covers how to  prepare for an interview, including the consideration of essential and  desired criteria, how to start an interview and the types of questions to ask  as well as what to do once the process is concluded.

First Impressions

It takes just a matter of seconds for someone to form an opinion of you and once  formed this opinion can be particularly difficult to change, therefore it’s  important to make your first impression a good one. In this module we explore  how impressions are formed, how to ensure you make a good first impression  and the steps you can take to recover when things go wrong.

Inducting a New Team Member

The induction process is an opportunity to welcome new employees, ensuring they  have the knowledge and support required to succeed, and to develop an  understanding of the business and its objectives. This module explores the  induction process, what it involves, common obstacles and the benefits of  induction for both the individual and the organisation.

Appraisal Interviews

An appraisal interview presents an opportunity for appraisees to clarify  anomalies in their job descriptions, review their performance and resolve  work-related problems. This module explores how to prepare for the appraisal  interview, what types of questions to ask and what to consider moving  forward.

Tips for the Interviewee

To help interviewees prepare for the interview process, this module explores the  different types of interview, offers suggestions on how to prepare for the  interview, what to expect from the interview and tips for answering  questions.

Networking

Networking is an essential skill for individuals. This module explores the purpose and  benefits of networking and offers a range of useful tips and techniques for  networking both online and in-person, including how to navigate professional  networking events.
