The ELEVATE Programme is a careers and employability skills accelerator programme for Black African, Caribbean, and mixed heritage students at Kingston University, now in its fourth year.   We had the pleasure of attending with all five of our Kingston University students: Paris, Malachi, Devonte, Prince, and Zainab. The event’s keynote speaker, Eddie Kadi, shared inspiring insights about his journey from Kingston University to a successful career in TV and comedy. #Kingstonuni #students #BHM

We are thrilled to share a momentous achievement for one of our students. Kemi Omoyele, has officially graduated with a 2:1 degree from Kingston University, marking a significant milestone as our very first graduate. But the celebrations don’t stop there – Kemi has also secured a graduate scheme placement at JLL. We couldn’t be prouder of Kemi’s hard work, dedication, and success. This is just the beginning of an exciting journey, and we know great things are on the horizon for her. Congratulations, Kemi! Your accomplishment is an inspiration to many. Here's to many more achievements and celebrations ahead! #graduation #kingstonuni Amanda Walker

We recently had the pleasure of visiting Charlotte Edwards, Early Careers Lead, at Lockton's head office. Charlotte hosted an engaging employability workshop for our students, providing insights on how to craft a standout CV, highlighting essential skills to mention, and offering valuable tips for improvement. A big thank you to Charlotte Edwards and Jonathan Hackett for dedicating their time to support our students' professional growth. The session was followed by our end of year get together celebrating positive grades, especially for Tyreece Phillips, who had just found out he has achieved a first class honours degree. Congratulations Tyreece!

A huge thank you to Faith Locken for inviting our students to the We Rise In Leadership Summit sponsored by Montagu Evans. It was a wonderfully inspirational evening with empowering discussions from the five panellists and Lottie Whyte, as guest speaker, all of whom shared their journey to success and leadership styles with honesty and passion.   This event gave our students the opportunity to network with successful black professionals, and more importantly, recognise the heights they can aspire to.   We look forward to continuing our collaboration with We Rise In and expanding our network of support.   Jennie Dorsaint Louis Maycock Nelma A.
