“The University of Westminster’s Elevate Programme has significantly boosted Sixth Gear’s – my start-up – growth over the past six months by providing vital knowledge, connections, and funding, enabling sustainable business development. Through intensive mentorship and bi-weekly workshops, I developed my business plan, improved brand awareness, and increased revenue, making it a key catalyst for our success.”
“I studied Digital Marketing at the University of Westminster, which gave me the confidence, knowledge and real-world skills to thrive in my career. Thanks to that foundation, I’m now working as a Marketing Executive at XCHG Spaces, where I collaborate with industry leaders and decision-makers on a daily basis. Westminster truly prepared me to step into these spaces and succeed!”
“Thanks to the Careers and Employability Service at the University, I secured a position as an Event Photographer through the Talent Bank scheme, which posts internal jobs for students. This role not only provided me with extra income but also helped me expand my portfolio and gain valuable work experience, supporting my career development.”
“I had an incredible experience with the WeNetwork programmes, having access to workshops, networking events, and funding allowed me to grow as a freelancer. If this programme didn’t exist, I wouldn’t have gained any clients. Thanks to freelancing, I decided to start planning a new start-up business this year, alongside my freelance business, Stuart Graphics.”
