Getting into Talks and Employer Led Skills Workshops are just two of the ways to find out more about employers, job sectors and opportunities!

The Careers Service provides you with an opportunity to explore a range of career options. Maybe you are curious about a sector you don’t know much about or you want to network with company representatives face to face and gain an insight into an interesting company. One of the Careers Service’s major roles is to expose you to an array of employers and to organise events which give you the opportunity to learn more about the career paths open to you or explore an option you hadn’t thought about before.
