What is Phoenix+?
Phoenix+ is a free programme of activities and modules for undergraduate and postgraduate Coventry University students designed to help you achieve your professional and academic goals. From on-demand digital content, to placements and volunteering opportunities, Phoenix+ provides extracurricular opportunities to equip you with skills, knowledge and confidence to thrive in a competitive graduate job market.
There are three levels:
-
Know It
Bite size content with each session focused on developing a skill through sharing knowledge.
-
Experience It
Immersive opportunities for you to apply your knowledge and build your skills further.
-
Live It
Your opportunity to bring all this together and get ready for the next steps after graduation.
It is easy to get started. Simply log in to Potential.ly and complete a short skills assessment which will identify the attributes you need to develop. You’ll then get recommendations of sessions and experiences that will help those weaker areas.
