2020 & 2021 Update

The past two years have been a challenging time for students taking exams and applying to university. It was also challenging for new graduates seeking their first employment, with many employer schemes affected in terms of numbers and assessment processes.

Smarter Lives continued to support students applying to universities in the UK and USA and also those applying to major employer schemes. Students whose internships were cancelled due to the pandemic were helped with online course opportunities, ideas for learning, virtual internships and work experience. We are also working with those who wish to find job opportunities and those whose jobs and income have been affected by COVID. 

Congratulations to the 2021 cohort of applicants who have gained offers to a range of universities. The 2022 cycle is now underway for university applications – including university applications, internships, graduate schemes and jobs. 

Congratulations also to those we have worked with to gain graduate employment. We have also supported clients seeking career and job changes due to the effects of COVID. All clients have achieved success with their job goals. Another year of success!
