Building Freelance Confidence

This CPD programme gives staff a practical understanding of how freelancing works for students and graduates, covering self-employment realities and the skills needed to build sustainable independent careers. Participants gain the language and confidence to support a wider range of students, including those already working in portfolio or gig-based ways.

Becoming a trained freelance champion also strengthens collaboration across departments, helping embed freelancing more consistently in provision and strategy. Staff leave with new ideas, clearer referral pathways, and a stronger professional profile aligned to improved graduate outcomes.
