Student feedback
Fazira, Goldsmiths
"When I was first at university, I never wanted to put myself out there and I had no confidence in myself. We Speak helped me express myself. It was a gradual process with friendly corporate mentors. I definitely feel a lot more comfortable and more sure of myself. I put myself out there more and applied for roles. I got hired at HSBC and then at Macquarie."
Chris, Queen's Belfast
"To start with, I felt that employment options and my ability to attain them may be limited. We Speak boosted my confidence in speaking to larger groups, and I'm now confident in my speaking abilities. I got hired by We Speak as a Facilitator. The programme has given me so much and I wanted a way to help develop the next cohort into people confident in their own abilities."
Desire, UAL
"I always found myself getting anxious while speaking. The mentors were very supportive and created a friendly environment. I have greatly increased my confidence and enthusiasm. I'd like to thank We Speak for the opportunity to be a part of something truly incredible. I’m so happy to be part of a positive community like this. I'm now a Product Designer at Foundry."
Employer feedback
"I saw a drastic improvement in confidence, poise and maturity. Really amazing transition. Speaking well assists in every facet of your life and provides a platform for opportunities and future success."
"I found it extremely rewarding. I wish I had been a part of a programme like this in terms of building my own confidence earlier on when I was looking for jobs! I loved seeing the students grow in confidence each week"
“It was simply and wonderfully structured with a super-friendly and non-patronising vibe. It also fitted in around my job, which is very unusual. There were no aspects that I didn't enjoy and I always felt prepared and supported."
"This has been a fantastic experience. Excellently managed and structured programme. The students were pretty brilliant and I enjoyed seeing them develop their confidence."
