Bring a practitioner to your campus

What a session looks like

A typical sixty-minute shape. We adjust it to your group, your timetable and the topic.

1. 5 minWelcome and framing. A faculty member introduces the speaker and the one question the session will answer.
2. 25 minThe practitioner's account. A working professional or founder describes the real job, the real decision or the real process, not a motivational talk.
3. 15 minShow it. A walkthrough, a live example, a review of a student resume or project, or a mock round, depending on the topic.
4. 10 minQuestions. Prepared questions from students first, then open questions, moderated by faculty.
5. 5 minOne thing to do next. Each student leaves with a single concrete action for the week.

What your college provides

• • The students, the room and the date.
• • A member of faculty or staff who stays in the room throughout.
• • Basic equipment: a screen or projector, and a microphone for larger groups.
• • Permission, where needed, for photographs or a recording. We do not take or use them without it.

How booking works

1. 1Tell us the group and the need. Which year and branch or programme, roughly how many students, and what you want them to be able to do afterwards. Use the request form; it takes about five minutes.
2. 2We propose a session and a speaker. We suggest a topic from the list or a custom one, and a suitable practitioner. You approve the topic and the person before anything is fixed.
3. 3You choose the date and arrange the room. The college provides the room, the audience and a member of staff who stays throughout. We confirm the arrangement in writing before the date.
4. 4The session runs, and we ask for feedback. Students and faculty are asked what was useful and what was not, so the next session is better.

What we do not do

• • Speakers may not sell or promote a business, course, product or service in a session.
• • We do not collect students' personal details beyond what the session needs.
• • We do not promise placements or outcomes. A session informs and prepares students; it does not place them.
• • We do not claim a speaker is available until they have agreed to your date.

Safeguarding

These are the standing commitments for any group that includes people under 18. Colleges with younger students, and every school, should read them.

• • Programmes are arranged through the institution and run in approved group settings, supervised throughout by a school-designated adult.
• • No unsupervised one-to-one mentoring of a student, and no private messaging or personal contact between a contributor and a student.
• • Contributors are screened and briefed for the role they are given, and may not use a session to sell or promote anything.
• • We collect only the information a programme needs, and seek institutional and parent or guardian consent where it is required.
• • A student's photograph, quote or story is used only with specific permission obtained beforehand.
• • Anything touching safety, abuse, severe distress or self-harm follows the institution's own escalation and professional-referral process.
