Running from 28 to 30 January, accelerAATe is a three-day virtual conference for AAT students to hear career advice from industry experts, gain study and revision tips, along with inspiring stories from AAT members who have used their qualification to succeed. Students can sign up here. Some of this year’s highlights: Networking 101: Unlocking opportunity through connection: this session explores the real power of networking, and why it matters now more than ever. Combining relatable examples with practical strategies, you’ll understand how everyday conversations can lead to opportunities in education, apprenticeships and future careers. Overcoming and managing personal challenges while studying: this session is dedicated to celebrating perseverance and sharing real-world strategies for success. Join us for an inspiring panel discussion with AAT students who are navigating their studies while managing other major life commitments. How to evidence your skills without formal experience: this session is designed to help you uncover the valuable skills you already possess. We’ll show you that experience comes from all parts of your life, not just the office. Plan your success: setting and achieving your short and long term goals: A goal without a plan is just a wish. Whether you’re planning the next few months of study or mapping out your first year in a new role, effective goal setting is the skill that turns ambition into reality. This interactive workshop will provide you with a clear framework for success. Student conference prize draw We’d love to see how our Training Providers are helping students accelerate their success.
