Published Friday, 29th October, 2021 in University news
Circl gives 18–24 year olds from under-represented backgrounds the chance to earn a qualification in leadership skills whilst learning alongside managers from top businesses such as: Google, Facebook, Uber, Etsy, Sony, Allen & Overy, British Land, Hello Fresh, eBay and Innocent.
They want to support young people whose background would traditionally be a limiting factor in them becoming a leader (primarily low-income households amongst other factors e.g. first-generation to go to university, disability, ethnic minority, single parent family etc).
This qualification is worth over £1000 but free for you and it looks amazing on your CV!

How it works & what you'll get
You'll be matched 1-1 with a manager and together you'll learn the 'coach approach to leadership' and use your new skills to help each other set and achieve ambitious goals.
There are six 2-hour workshops and individual coaching sessions that run over 3-5 months, and you'll also meet your professional 1-1 match in between each session to coach and be coached by them. It's only a small time commitment that can fit around your studies/ work.
