Employer/Careers Service events

Employers are always hosting insight schemes, information sessions and office visits to let students know more about their application process and what it’s like to work for them.

The Careers Service also organises talks, workshops and sessions to help you develop those crucial job-seeking skills and figure out your next steps.
