Prepare students by growing together towards their first job
As former students, we remember it well: you’re in your final year or just graduated, and suddenly it’s time to apply for jobs. You know it’s important, but you have no idea what to expect, what to say, or how to really prepare.
Today’s students feel the same—after all, applying for jobs is rarely taught in school. Yet research shows that students who receive job application training are up to 2.5 times more likely to find a job within three months. Good preparation also reduces stress by nearly 50% and doubles self-confidence in 9 out of 10 students.
That’s exactly why we provide guest lectures and training. We make sure students not only know what to do, but also have the confidence and conviction to do it. For schools, this means a valuable addition to the curriculum, higher student satisfaction, and better career outcomes for alumni.

From Classroom to Career: The Measurable Impact for Schools
A diploma matters, but it’s no guarantee of a strong start in the job market. Applying for jobs is a skill of its own and that’s exactly what we teach. The result? Confident students, better career prospects, and a stronger reputation for your school. Time and again, research shows that targeted application training has a direct, measurable impact on student satisfaction, employability, and alumni success.
Higher student satisfaction
In the National Student Survey, “preparation for the job market” is one of the key drivers of student satisfaction.
Schools that provide structured career preparation score on average 12% higher in this category.
Improved career prospects for alumni
Students who receive application training are up to 2.5× more likely to secure a job within 3 months (source: NACE).
They are also 24% more likely to find work in their own field (source: LinkedIn Talent Solutions).
Positive impact on reputation
Alumni success and employability data are increasingly used in school rankings (source: QS World University Rankings, Keuzegids).
A strong employer network and solid placement results make your school more attractive to prospective students.
Better alignment with the labor market
Candidates with application training perform up to 30% better in interviews (source: Glassdoor).
Yet only 40% of students feel adequately prepared without additional training (source: CareerBuilder).
Practical and Personal Job Application Training for Students
At Nexie, we know job application skills can’t be learned from a book. Students benefit from hands-on training and realistic practice situations where they experience what really works. That’s why our guest lectures are always interactive, engaging, and tailored to the group’s level and needs. No dry theory—just exercises that can be applied immediately, from CVs and cover letters to practicing interviews.

Beforehand, we send a questionnaire to the students. In it, they indicate what they find difficult or what they would like to learn more about.
Based on their input, we fine-tune the lesson: three topics will be covered in depth, while the rest is addressed briefly and practically.
This way, every group receives training tailored to their own questions and needs. If there are multiple groups, we’ll bundle students with similar interests as much as possible.
