Short in time. High in Impact.
We understand that time can be short on study abroad experiences, but that students are demanding more work based learning to compliment their studies. Our Nano Work Sprints are built to be combined with traditional Study Abroad programs to ensure flexibility and access to relevant work experience for all.
Up Skilling Your Students For Future Success
Every work experience program is created to build critical transferable skills to ensure your students are equipped to take ownership of their future career path.

LINKEDIN TRAINING
It's positive to see more learners creating their professional profiles on linkedin, however, the majority still don't understand how to build strong professional brands and utilise the functionality and network on the platform. We provide group and individual support on maximising Linkedin throughout the Nano Work Sprint to ensure they are growing as professionals and maximising their work experience for their future career journey.
BUILDING PROACTIVE PROFESSIONAL HABITS
CAREER DESIGN EX3
Learners will have the opportunity to build their knowledge and tools to take ownership of their career journey through our EX3 Career Framework. Our framework is based on a proactive, rather than the tradtional reactive, career approach. Learners will gain confidence to start building their network and creativng their own experiences to build their own future career success.

We select local clients for the work based learning to allow learners to meet and connect with their host organisations. Learners will have multiple touch points with their chosen clients over the duration of the work sprint allowing them to build critical transferable professional skills.
REAL LIFE PROJECTS FOR REAL LIFE CLIENTS
CONSULTING PROJECTS
Your learners will be working on real problems and projects from real clients. Our projects are not simulations and clients are looking for solutions and innovations to drive their businesses forward.

Learners will gain experiences in the real world that will boost confidence and tangible proof of technical skills.
