Confident Futures

“A degree is no longer a meal ticket to your future but simply a licence to hunt’
Lindsey Perry, Railtrack

Edinburgh Napier University recognises that students need more than just a good degree to achieve success in the workplace. The pioneering Confident Futures personal development programme has been designed to help students develop well-founded confidence and the sort of soft skills and attitudes demanded by today’s employers.

The Confident Futures team run a variety of events for students and staff members alike, including interactive workshops and lectures.  Undergraduate workshops are based around different Development Themes - Self Awareness, Empowering Attitudes and Building Relationships.  Postgraduate programmes covers Goal-setting, Defending Ideas and Networking.

Fundraising

To date almost £280,000 has been raised for the Confident Futures.  This has enabled us to develop the project from the initial pilot phase to being fully integrated into the curriculum.
