The world of work is changing, and university students need to prepare themselves for this. To help meet this need, Future Foundations has developed the Graduate Edge programme, and its sister programme Mind the Gap.

History of the programme:

The breakthrough day seminar which briges the gaps betweene education and the working world was first run in London on Saturdays at a central London hotel under the Graduate Edge brand. Due to its success and excellent feedback, Future Foundations piloted running the programme under the brand 'Mind the Gap' at the University of Bath.

What is the programme about:

Whether you want to work for a corporation, in the charity sector, set up your own business or don't know what you want to do - these events will help you to understand yourself, how to gain a greater understanding of your options and where to go to get support.

Future Foundations will introduce you to concepts like 'informational interviews', 'building a network' and will then challenge you to test your skills by taking part in an evening event and a 'pitching' competition. Example sessions include:
