The annual careers fair, gives you the opportunity to speak to potential employers and find out what careers, jobs, placement and study opportunities are on offer.
Placements, internships and work experience
Increasing student numbers at university makes entry in to the graduate job market very competitive. Research surveys, including those undertaken by High Flyers, highlight the large number of applications for graduate roles (sometimes as high as 70-80 applications for roles on popular graduate training schemes with the big national and international organisations).
Just having a good degree is not enough to give you the best platform to compete for graduate roles - which means work experience, work placements or volunteering is absolutely essential. Employers will be expecting you to have gained experience, articulate what you have gained, including skills you have developed that will be needed in their business.
The Work Experience team within Student Futures is here to help. Get in touch with your School Work Experience Officer (based in the Student Futures team) as early as possible in your studies but especially by the autumn of year two in your studies.
