Helping young people land their fi rst job


Employers tell us that a good degree at a good university is no longer enough How do you set yourself apart?


With graduate unemployment at a 10 year high, getting your fi rst job can be daunting for even the most highly qualifi ed graduate. Before the “crunch”, with the right motivation and qualifi cations, you could expect to get the job you wanted.


 Only 5% of CVs get through to the interview stage.  Graduate unemployment is increasing faster than the jobless rate among the UK as a whole.  Employers now use “weapons of mass rejection” to fi lter out candidates with online applications, multiple interviews and numerical tests.


 Is your network strong enough to get your foot in the door?


Lifestep helps young people stand out from their peers in the jobs’ market by giving them the skills, behaviours and motivation that they need so that they present themselves eff ectively to employers. Over 75% of Lifestep graduates are now in full-time jobs or have obtained internships through our network of recruiters.


We have run successful programmes in schools and universities, for alumni associations and for those currently at university. We also run continuous mentoring services for those who request additional help during the job hunt process.
