1-2-1 Progression Coaching

Working with you on your future

Progression coaching is different to a one off careers appointment as it isn’t just advice and guidance, it is more about the relationship built and the engagement between the student and the progression coach.

They will help you look deeper into yourself and create ideas to move your situation on towards a desirable outcome, including goal setting.

This type of coaching can help you realise and appreciate your strengths, to unlock your potential and inner motivation - giving you greater confidence to move forward and achieve your goals.

Instead of giving you information, we will ask questions in order to find out your strengths, skills and passions
We will create an action plan, adding and reviewing steps each time we meet
As we build our relationship together, we can send out more tailored opportunities and information

Even if you don’t take part in progression coaching with us, you also have the opportunity to apply for funding and take part in different events and work experiences with Newman University and University of Birmingham students.

"This has helped me gain a better idea about recruitment processes and what recruiters look for in an applicant. And being able to participate in a project that helps BAME students receive an equal chance was very rewarding. My overall progression journey and personal development has been incredible."

Shashi Chopra 2019 BA (Hons) Childhood Studies graduate who progressed onto a MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy master’s degree at Newman University
