Being Human in an AI World

Developing confident, grounded young people for regulated industries

Our young people may be digitally fluent, but they’re not always emotionally equipped for the pace, pressure and uncertainty of modern working life.

Developed in collaboration with Carrie Burley, this programme strengthens the human skills technology can’t replace — clarity, confidence and sound judgement.

Delivered face-to-face and online through a series of facilitator-guided modules, the programme blends psychological insight with practical skills, interactive tools and follow-up materials that embed learning long after each session.

How it works

Core programme modules
Face-to-face half-day introduction session
Online modules (45-minute live sessions), with participation via Mentimeter
Optional focus modules to address specific challenges

Style

Interactive, practical, engaging
Guided by an experienced facilitator

Accreditation

Participants build capability as they progress:

Human Foundations Certificate — all Core Modules
Applied Human Skills Award — Core Modules + two Optional Modules
Practitioner Certificate — all eight modules

Each stage recognises increasing confidence, judgement and real-world capability.
