Opening Doors

Zohra Butt

“I wanted to know what my strengths were – is my personality better suited to one career over another?”

Efthymios Gavriil

“The most important element of Prosper for me was its focus on networking. If I hadn’t learned what I did, and put it into practice, I would never have even found out about the position that I have now.”

Christina Picken

“I think the self-discovery part of Prosper is revolutionary. It enables you to provide a narrative to your own experiences, and draw out and condense what is important from that.”

David Ashmore

“Prosper helped me become more honest with myself, about my values, about what I want to do day-to-day”
