Your degree got you this far. Now it’s time to turn your potential into professional momentum. Breaking into the job market can be difficult. You may have the qualifications, but still find yourself wondering: \- Why isn’t my CV getting results? \- How do I stand out without years of experience? \- How do I build confidence when networking? \- What are employers actually looking for? \- And how do I prove what I can do before someone gives me the opportunity? CAP Summit is designed to help you start answering those questions. Join us for an interactive, career-focused event built for graduates, early-career professionals, and ambitious job seekers who want practical guidance, stronger professional confidence, and a clearer route into the career they want. ## What to expect This isn’t an event where you sit and listen. You’ll take part in practical activities designed around situations you’re likely to face in the real world — from introducing yourself confidently and joining conversations to understanding how to position yourself more effectively in today’s job market. You’ll explore: • Networking & Confidence — Learn how to approach people, join conversations naturally and make a stronger first impression. • Career Positioning — Understand how your CV, LinkedIn presence and professional identity influence how employers see you. • The Experience Problem — Discover ways to move beyond “I need experience to get experience” and start building evidence of what you can actually do. • What Employers Look For — Explore the professional behaviours and competencies that help people get hired and succeed once they enter the workplace. • Practical Career Direction — Leave with a clearer understanding of the areas you need to strengthen and the next steps you can take. ## Discover the Career Accelerator Programme You’ll also be introduced to CAP — the Career Accelerator Programme, a structured 12-week programme designed for people who are serious about building a career, not simply finding their next job. CAP combines professional development with experience inside a live business. Participants work on real projects, receive weekly one-to-one feedback and develop across seven professional competencies. The goal is simple: give you the skills, experience and evidence to compete for the career you actually want. ## Who should attend? CAP Summit is particularly relevant if you’re a: 🎓 Graduate trying to break into the professional job market 💼 Job seeker struggling to stand out 🚀 Early-career professional looking to accelerate your development 📈 Ambitious individual who wants practical experience rather than another certificate If you’ve worked hard to get where you are but still feel stuck, overlooked or unsure what your next move should be, this event is for you. ## Come ready to participate. Meet people. Practice. Ask questions. Challenge yourself. And leave with a clearer idea of what it takes to move from qualified on paper to credible in the workplace. Places are limited; reserve your place at CAP Summit today.

Figuring It Out Together — Coffee, Conversations & New Beginnings.

Figuring It Out Together — Coffee, Conversations & New Beginnings.

Sat, Oct 17, 10:00 AM
From Figuring It Out Together

Well, the first meetup happened, we met some interesting people, had some great conversations, and guess what? We’re still figuring it out! 😄 So here we are, back for round two! We’re still a new group, still a bunch of strangers, and still not entirely sure where this is going — but that’s kind of the whole point. Whether you’re between jobs, thinking about quitting, exploring something new, feeling stuck, or just looking to meet people and have some random, meaningful (or completely meaningless!) conversations, come join us. No agendas, no awkward networking, no motivational speeches. Just coffee, new faces, different perspectives and conversations that could go absolutely anywhere. You don’t need a plan, a purpose or even a good reason to show up. If you enjoy a little randomness, meeting new people and figuring life out as you go, you’ll fit right in. See you there! ☕✨ P.S. Returning faces and first-timers are equally welcome. We’re all still strangers becoming friends.

Still Figuring It Out… ☕ | Coffee, Conversations & Randomness

Still Figuring It Out… ☕ | Coffee, Conversations & Randomness

Sun, Oct 18, 10:00 AM
From Figuring It Out Together

Another meetup, another bunch of strangers, and still no idea where this is going! 😄 But that’s kind of the fun of it, isn’t it? We’re a bunch of people from different walks of life, figuring out what’s next, exploring new ideas, or simply looking to break the routine and meet some interesting people. Some of us are between jobs, some are thinking about changing careers or starting something new, and some just enjoy good company and random conversations. And if you’re new here, even better! Don’t worry about coming alone or not knowing anyone. Most of us started exactly that way, and we’re always happy to see a new face. No agenda, no awkward networking, no pressure to be interesting or have your life sorted. Just grab a coffee, join the conversation and see where it takes us. We might talk about careers, travel, crazy ideas, life decisions or absolutely nothing important! If you like a little randomness and meeting people without expectations, you’ll fit right in. Come as a stranger, leave with a few familiar faces. ☕😊 Still figuring it out, still making it up as we go — together!

## Global Goals. Local Action. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals provide an ambitious global framework for tackling some of the most significant challenges facing society, from poverty, inequality and health to education, sustainable cities, economic opportunity and climate action. **But global goals are ultimately delivered locally.** They are translated into reality in our communities, businesses, schools and universities, voluntary organisations, public institutions and neighbourhoods. Driving Change was created to explore that connection. Registration Link : [https://www.rotarystratford.london/driving-change-2026/](https://www.rotarystratford.london/driving-change-2026/) Rise London Tech Ladies supports this event and invited 3 women leaders at 4pm sessions. - [Debbie Eacott ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/debbie-eacott-b2228a49/?isSelfProfile=false)\- Co\-Founder Good Women Circle - [Soha Ahmed](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahmedsoha/) \- Principal Product Manager \, S& P Global - [Candy Liu ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/candy-liu-5a47214/?isSelfProfile=true)\- Chairlady\, Rise London Tech Ladies
