Graduate hiring in 2026 looks nothing like it did two years ago. Employers are redesigning assessments, watching for AI-polished answers, and rejecting candidates who can't explain their own work.At the same time, they still want people who can use AI well.The people getting hired right now aren't the ones with the best AI prompts. They're the ones with real skills, real taste, and real proof of their work.This course is built around that shift. You'll cover the things graduate programmes and university careers services mostly aren't teaching yet: how to build a career AI can't replace, how to actually use AI tools well, why taste is becoming the word of 2026, how to tell a story about your work that lands, and how to stop waiting for permission and start making things happen.You'll build the thing almost no one else applying alongside you will have: proof.Proof of what you can do without AI.Proof of how you use it when you do.Leave with something most graduates don't have yet: a clear, defensible story about how you work in an AI era. That's the thing that's getting people hired right now.
