Testimonials

     

 "Bridging the Gap was a game-changer for me. As a business student, I had the academic knowledge, but I lacked the confidence and real-world experience to stand out in the job market. Their career workshops, and one-on-one coaching helped me refine my CV, ace interviews using the STAR technique and connect with industry professionals. Thanks to their support, I secured a great job before graduating, and the skills I gained continue to help me excel in my career. I highly recommend this program to any student looking to get ahead! 

Joe Smith: Business Gradute
     

 "Bridging the Gap gave me the practical skills I needed to transition from university to the workplace with confidence. The workshops helped me apply real-world management models like Lewin's Change Management Model and Kotter's 8-Step Process in my job, making me a more effective leader. Thanks to their support, I secured a management role after graduation.
