Education to Employment 2014

by Barnaby Mollett

Education to Employment is an event held for visually impaired graduates and undergraduates interested in finding job opportunities.

The event, which is being organised by Blind in Business, a charity specialising in helping blind and partially sighted students into work following graduation through training and employment services, will take place from 6-8 August 2014 at the Mandolay Hotel in Guildford.

During the course of the three days, you will get the chance to attend employment workshops, meet mentors, and go water-skiing! You will also get two interviews with HR Managers from some of the UK's leading firms.

Date/Time

The event runs from 15.00 on Wednesday 6 August until 16.00 on Friday 8 August.

Location

How to attend the event

The event is free to attend, but places will go quickly. Those interested should contact Justin Harrison, Employment Manager at Blind in Business via the contact details on the event's webpage.
