Overview
What's included
This lesson introduces the idea of personal strengths and how they differ from skills. You'll find out why recognising your own strengths matters, both for everyday life and for thinking ahead to future study and work.
Hear directly from people at Barclays about how they identify and talk about their own skills. It offers practical, real-world tips on spotting the skills you already have and where they might take you.
This lesson looks at two skills employers value highly: listening and problem-solving. You'll explore what these skills look like in practice and why they matter in almost any workplace.
You're guided through a practical self-assessment that reflects on your strengths and skills so far. This lesson encourages honest self-reflection and helps you begin building a picture of your own profile.
Yes, you can sign up to multiple programmes with us. The live talks will be available as recordings, so you can catch up on any potential clashes.
Most of our programmes require students to be in school/college. Some programmes require students to be based in specific regions of the UK, this is stipulated by the organisations themselves, and is not defined by Springpod.
However, the ages mentioned on our programmes are more of a guideline than a strict limit. As such, we more than welcome older students to apply as well!
You will receive a certificate on completion of your programme. It will be made available to download whenever your programme is marked as complete.
