AI can be your catalyst to stand out as a graduate.
Entry-level hiring is tightening, and the “routine” tasks that used to make up many graduate roles are increasingly being automated or redesigned. In the UK, entry-level job postings have fallen by nearly a third since the launch of ChatGPT, signalling a real shift in how employers structure junior work.
At the same time, the pressure on young jobseekers is rising, the UK youth unemployment rate was 15.9%, reflecting how competitive it has become to secure a first role. This programme helps you stay ahead of that shift by building practical AI readiness: the ability to use Generative AI to produce workplace-grade deliverables (research, analysis, recommendations) with verification and responsible practice, so your CV shows capability, not just interest.
