Joy Wildemans

Recruitment Marketeer - Employer Branding, Deloitte

The Employer Branding Academy was a great learning opportunity! Besides providing insights into recruitment marketing, it also taught us (through the use of case-examples) how to successfully develop, activate, and measure a company’s employer brand. Also, I was able to apply learnings from the course directly to my daily work. The network of people I’ve met and thought-provoking discussions we had, made taking the employer branding course a wonderful experience.

Steven Burrows

Senior Talent Acquisition Manager, Treasury Wine Estates

I had been following Universum’s updates for a while and had always been impressed, and was keen to deepen my knowledge of employer branding, so enrolled in their course. The course was fantastic. It’s given a great framework to use and the quality of the content was superb – the case studies were current and practical and can be used for a great range of industries. It’s been one of the best professional development courses I’ve done and the tools and frameworks can be applied to a lot of initiatives – not just employer branding – so it’s well worth it. It was also just really enjoyable – didn’t really feel like study.

Sanou Njie

Campus Relations Specialist, UBS

Whether you’re just starting out in Employer Branding space or someone who’s worked in the industry for a few years, this is a great way to ensure your working style is more strategic with clear, measurable objectives that showcase the impact of your work. 

I enjoyed the flexible setup, and the resources were super valuable to the work I do. The final project was the best part for me! I was able to reference everything I had learnt to develop a work solution I can now utilize in my role. I also had the opportunity to connect with professionals from a range of industries – it was great to share ideas, network and learn more about the challenges they faced.
