Our Experience
Design Factory staff bring many years of experience from management and management consultancy in third sector organisations, academia, governmental organisations, small businesses and large international consultancies. They are trained in popular coaching methodologies including ORSC@work .
Portfolio: Student Coaching
Since Design Factory started, a key reason for the organisation’s existence has been to take our staff, the majority of whom are undergraduates and recent graduates, and to supplement their theoretical knowledge of computing with practical experiences, networking opportunities and employability skills enhancement to prepare them better for the work place or for starting their own businesses.
We have also drawn on guest speakers from industry or with specialist knowledge to ensure that our staff are as up to date and informed as possible.
Many of the techniques taught within Beautiful canoe have been utilised by Aston University staff to enhance the learning experience of the broader student cohort.
