Create inspiring experiences that build skills, careers and opportunity for learners
This project gave me a practical way to test my skills with a real client brief. Our team had clear milestones, useful mentor input, and actionable feedback that improved our final outcome.

Working on a live business challenge made the learning feel relevant from day one. We collaborated across different backgrounds, presented to a real stakeholder, and used their feedback to sharpen our recommendations.

This was one of the most valuable learning experiences in my degree. The mentor reviews and weekly checkpoints helped me build confidence, communicate better, and translate theory into practical decisions.

We used Proximityreels to scale a high-touch employability initiative without losing learning quality. Structured activities and clear communication points improved student engagement at scale.
Proximityreels matched our flagship unit by supporting applied, interdisciplinary, and team-based work. It streamlined project management, strengthened industry interaction, and made feedback cycles easier to run each term.
вProximityreels has helped us deliver an highly effective digital mentoring program to better develop student Nurse practitioner skills in communication, leadership and critical thinking, while reducing cost of Clinical Placement Support.
