The programme STRIVE100 is re-named from the former ASPIRE. This year it is targeted at 1st year ‘BAME’ students as reviewed from pilots from the former cohorts in their 2nd or 3rd years. The programme launches on RISE in October 2023 will run through April 2024. This is a programme of exciting, interesting & thought-provoking workshops and activities. The sessions cover personal & professional development such as – academic coaching excellence (ACE), employment and employability, and health, wellbeing and life coaching.
By engaging with this programme on RISE, and based on the number of hours completed, you will gain a bronze badge (42 hours), silver badge (85 hours) or a gold badge (100 hours).
Every STRIVER will have the opportunity of completing short unpaid virtual internships simulations tailored to their degrees, and designed to help them succeed when applying for future work opportunities and they will receive certificates for this. These internships are hosted by successful companies ranging a variety of industries, such as Red bull (Food and Beverage), Accenture (Consulting) and Lululemon (Fashion and Commerce) just to name a few.
On successful completion of one of these virtual internships, there will be sponsored prizes up for grabs. These include face to face insight days donated by colaborating companies, and a social event to celebrate completion of the virtual internship!
