Student CPD
Here at Hull College, your development doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Three times each academic year, our regular timetable is supported by a week-long programme of workshops, events, and activities designed to help you grow both personally and professionally.
What is CPD?
CPD stands for Continuous Professional Development. It’s all about preparing you to meet the demands of the modern world of work – developing the knowledge, behaviours, and confidence employers are looking for.
Our Student CPD Weeks bring together a mix of engaging workshops, guest speakers, and interactive sessions that focus on key areas of employability and personal growth.
What to Expect
Working closely with employers, universities, and industry partners, each CPD Week offers something different – from practical training to inspiring talks that get you thinking about your next steps. Every week is built around four core themes that are essential for future success:
- Sustainability – Explore how you can make a positive impact and support a greener future.
- Leadership – Develop confidence, communication, and teamwork skills that employers value.
- Mental Health & Wellbeing – Learn how to take care of yourself and others in a busy world.
- Digital Skills – Boost your digital confidence and prepare for an ever-changing tech landscape.
You’ll have the chance to take part in sessions that inspire you, meet professionals from a range of industries, and gain valuable insights into your future career path.
Upcoming CPD Weeks

Full details of all sessions held during each week – including how to sign up – will be shared via email ahead of time, so you can plan which activities to get involved in. Your regular timetable will continue as usual, with tutors and staff on hand to help you fit sessions around your studies.
Your Development. Your Future.
Don’t miss the chance to make the most of these exciting opportunities. Every CPD Week is designed to help you unlock your potential, prepare for your future, and take your next steps with confidence.

My time at Hull College was an incredibly positive experience and played a huge role in my personal development. From day one, the tutors were supportive and genuinely invested in helping me succeed, and I’ve made friendships that will last a lifetime. Most importantly, I’ve gained confidence, teamwork skills, and leadership qualities that have prepared me well for the next step in my journey at university.
