This spring, the Careers and Employability team are hosting a week of online and on-campus events and activities that will provide you with an insight into a wide range of different employment sectors, and inspire you in your own career journey.
Inspired Futures week from 19-23 April offers a chance to hear from interesting speakers who will share their career story and provide you with everything you need to know about their roles, how the pandemic has impacted it, and what you can do now to help prepare for your future career.
We’ve invited guest speakers, current students, recent graduates, and some of our employer partners, to get involved and have created a dedicated Inspired Futures website to showcase what’s on.
Featured events include:
