About
Future Paths Consulting is a small careers and professional development consultancy enabling employers to engage strategically with talent, supporting universities to create impactful solutions for their students and graduates, and equipping professionals with the tools to thrive in their careers.
My Story
I’ve developed well-rounded expertise in the careers and employability space with applications to workplace learning and professional development priorities. For universities, I've gained extensive insights into the priorities of students, graduates, Faculty staff, programme management staff, department and Faculty leadership, and key external stakeholders including employers and corporate partners.
My core objectives are to facilitate genuine career growth and to bring stakeholders together to create real impact – with the common thread of ‘future paths’. I offer a bespoke approach to each client whether you’re an individual seeking CV guidance, a careers service designing an alumni workshop, or an
employer interested in recruitment and selection advisory.

Emma’s Bio
(Founder & Director)
I bring 13 years of careers and employability expertise to Future Paths Consulting.
My skills drew from blended experience across academic, professional services, and industry roles with the common theme of careers and employability. For employers, my interventions focus on experiential learning - supporting your employees' professional development (both early-career and experienced) through hands-on delivery alongside tailored advisory for your recruitment, selection, learning and talent strategies.
From designing and delivering employability curriculum to hundreds of students, to producing research publications in the field of graduate employability, to contributing to a careers service within a top five UK university (including work-based learning initiatives), I provide well-rounded expertise to my university clients. Having worked across four different universities, both Russell Group and non-Russell Group, my advice is also contextual and pragmatic.
Prior to my higher education career, I gained experience in recruitment and freelance CV writing. I hold bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from a UK Russell Group university, alongside a PhD focused on exploring the employability of business and management graduates in the UK job market. I also possess a postgraduate qualification in careers guidance.
I’m an Advance HE Fellow, and I hold memberships of the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services (AGCAS) and the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD).
