ELE Hub

We are so proud to form part of the South London Skills and Employment Alliance. We will be forming important partnerships through this alliance that will enable us to deliver the best possible hands-on experience programmes that employers will value on CV's.

Experiential Learning Programmes (ELP's) are a bridge between your learning and your ability to land a job. While skills can be obtained from qualifications, certificates or self-directed learning, these skills can be practised in live, team-based projects in ELE Hub. We are excited to announce that applications are now open to participate!

You are underemployed if your current job or source of income does not reflect your skills, abilities, qualifications, or experience. Perhaps you are working part-time when you have the ability to work full time. Maybe you are in a role that is not at your education or experience levels. You could be feeling bored or uninspired in your role. Or you may be self-employed at your skill level but not earning enough income. For some of us underemployment is temporary or even by choice. In which case use it as an opportunity to grow your career, discover new opportunities and build your networks. For others, it may be a prolonged state in your life that you are feeling stuck in. If this is you, you need to act. You need to put a career development plan in place to help you secure a new role or an alternative source of income. This may take time, but it will be worth it in the long run and help you feel better about your life and your career path. #careeradvice #careerdevelopment #ELEHub

The term "Imposter Syndrome" is being used very freely. It is important to differentiate between when you have Real Skills Gaps (a rational conclusion about what skills you do and do not have) versus when you are experiencing Imposter Syndrome (your overly harsh internal critic about your skills). While both can affect career confidence levels, this article explains how to tell the difference and what strategies to pursue to help resolve each condition.
