Why this exists

Nobody hands you a flight plan for after graduation.

Career Launchpad exists to bridge the gap between classroom learning and the real world of work, so students can step forward with clarity and confidence.

01
Limited exposure to the world of work before students ever sit an interview.
02
A widening gap between academic knowledge and the employability skills recruiters screen for.
03
Little visibility into career paths beyond the obvious — development, consulting, finance, enterprise.
04
Real uncertainty about what comes next, right when final-year students need clarity most.
What you leave with

Not a certificate. A plan.

A clearer view of career paths across corporate, finance, entrepreneurship, public service and development work.

A working CV, cover letter, and rehearsed answers to the interview questions that actually get asked.

A straight answer on what employers screen for — and how to show it on paper and in person.

A shortlist of scholarships, internships, and graduate programmes worth applying to.

Real contacts — recruiters, alumni, founders and practitioners you met, not just heard from.

Confidence and a written next step for life after graduation — whatever direction you're headed.

One day, fully boarded

Keynote, five sessions, one panel, hands-on masterclasses.

Corporate careers, banking & finance, entrepreneurship, scholarships, and the development sector — all covered in a single day, closing with certificates and a networking reception.

A practical experience

A focused day of preparation, guidance and momentum.

From keynote insight to hands-on masterclasses, the programme is built to leave students with clarity, confidence and a next step.
