Training for Sixth Form schools
Present With Presence
It is almost impossible for those embarking on life post-school to avoid having to deliver a presentation at some point. University applications, job interviews and apprenticeships are using personal presentations as a strategy to identify the best candidates for places and roles.
Beyond that phase, presenting in the workplace is common, and refining these skills will be useful moving forward. Like any skill set, there are learning strategies to improve and practice is essential.
It would be madness for someone to deliver a presentation that could be key to their future if it’s the first time they’ve done it.
At Present with Presence, our packages offer students a learning session, and an opportunity to practise presentation skills and get one-to-one feedback and coaching.
