UpSkill Universe is a leading organisation in the world of Skills and Inclusion. Since 2015 we’ve built some of the world's largest award-winning digital skills, talent and inclusion programmes empowering over 650,000 people globally partnering with the likes of Google, Walmart, HSBC, and TikTok.

We are passionate about tackling the skills and representation in business, supporting companies to create equitable career pathways to boost progression and develop relevant skills for the future workplace.

As a company, we have big plans to continue our expansion and growth in the UK and continue to roll out our programs targeting the US, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Sub-Saharan Africa markets.

About the programme

The programme is for an American financial company based in the USA. They aim to conduct training sessions for their... associates with a focus on career acceleration. It encompasses two primary themes:

1. "Owning Your Difference," which delves into the unique lived experiences and backgrounds of individuals from ethnic minorities who find themselves navigating the challenging financial corporate world. The session aims to tap into the facilitators’ experience to recognise the challenges and opportunities that come with navigating this nuanced environment; this session aims to guide learners in harnessing their authenticity as a powerful tool for personal and professional success.

2. "Career Powerup" is about how high-performing individuals within the financial sector encounter unique challenges in their career journeys. Associates look to quickly pick up the skills to excel within a financial firm. The "Career Power-Up" session is tailored to equip the learners with essential tools to plan, execute and set themselves up to consistently deliver by tapping into their recognised strengths and future aspirations.
