Pink Elephant University: presentation skills for students

Communication and presentation skills are consistently ranked as vital competencies for job hunters.

In fact, according to MBA.com, four of the top five skills desired by employers fall into the communication category.

So, how confident are your students?

Despite being on track to become the most educated generation in history, more than 7 in 10 employers feel a lack of communication skills is limiting young people’s growth.

This is where we come in.

We’re here to make your students more employable.

It’s what we’ve been doing as a business since 1989.

Let’s get into how we do this.

1. Increasing employability in five simple steps

I’ve seen first-hand the importance of developing presentation skills for students.

This comes from my work in Student Development at the University of Edinburgh Business School.

It’s huge for both a student’s employability and their self-confidence.

At Pink Elephant, we build confidence in presenting by turning communication into a science.

It’s what we call our five Golden Rules.

Sharing these rules has helped businesses, universities, charities, and individuals achieve one of the most employable attributes there is.

To be understood.

In a typical training session, we’ll begin by analysing the content of your students’ presentations.

We’ll also advise on their delivery style.

Pace, pausing, body language, emphasis, and eye contact are all covered in great detail.

Our workshops are consistently reviewed as highly enjoyable, easy to understand, interactive, safe, and impactful.

Our team has a range of experience across journalism, marketing, personal development and so much more.

We absolutely love training directly with students at university, helping them develop these skills at an earlier stage in their careers.

This is the time to step up this offering.

We firmly believe that gaining these tools will build their ability to pitch new products and ideas, network effectively, and interview more confidently.

2. Building confidence in-person or online

We deliver tailored workshops designed around your specific needs.

We can run multiple in-person group sessions across a day on campus.

Or we can offer online drop-in workshops for busy students looking to receive direct feedback.

Getting it right for students can be hugely challenging.

Working in professional development for your cohort requires your time, energy, and effort.

We have direct experience of that.

We also have experience of that feeling when you get it right.

It’s brilliant.

We’re absolutely committed to partnering with you to bring that feeling to life.

And to help your students build confidently towards a career they want.
