Increasing Students’ Confidence at Our First Digital Assessment Centre of 2021

For our first digital assessment centre of 2021, we welcomed students from Newcastle University’s Career Insights programme. The Career Insights programme aims to support students from under-represented backgrounds with their personal and professional development, helping them to develop skills and understanding for their graduate careers.

At the digital assessment centre, students completed a group exercise, presentation and interview. After completing the exercises, students all received personalised feedback reports, highlighting their strengths and development areas.

In our post-event survey, 100% of participants said they would recommend taking part in the assessment centre to other students.

We were delighted to welcome observers from Newcastle University to the digital assessment centre, who commented:

"Assessors were fantastic - they provided information clearly and put students at ease."

"The whole assessment centre was really well organised and streamlined, with useful advice and information both prior to and during it. The assessors I observed were all brilliant with the students, putting them quickly at ease and building their confidence in the activities."

Students who attended have reported they now feel more confident to tackle the graduate recruitment process. See what they had to say in the image below.
