What is Grit?
Grit is a charity that works with universities, schools, and professionals. They believe that when you change your thinking, you can change your world.
Their participatory workshops seek to support participants to challenge the way they think, and to improve the outcomes they can achieve. Their starting point is that you already have everything you need to be a thriving and contributing part of your community and they will work with you so that you can see that too. This is an exciting training opportunity unlike any other.
Who is this training for?
Students – undergraduate and postgraduate students of all levels can attend.
How much does it cost?
This development opportunity is fully funded by the University so it’s free for all NTU students to attend.
Where is the training?
Training will be delivered at City Campus on selected dates.

What can I expect from a one-day workshop?
This workshop will support you to create breakthroughs in your thinking, see new opportunities, and take your experience at NTU to a new level. Think of it as the jumpstart to help you with your next steps.
What can I expect from the three-day workshop?
These workshops are ideal for students who want to elevate their personal, academic, and professional development. They offer opportunities for deep exploration, self-agency, and significant shifts in your NTU experience and future aspirations.
Students signing up to the three-day workshop will have a one-hour enrolment session with a Grit coach which you will attend one-two weeks before the workshop. The enrolment is online, and you can pick a slot that works best for you.
