Law, finance, engineering, media – graduate careers live

I’m not sure if you’ve heard already, but following last year’s special programme on Degree Apprenticeships, we’re producing a new TV programme to introduce Year 12 sixth form students to the graduate job

market and degree apprenticeships.

Graduate Careers Live! is at 2pm next Thursday 27th April and will provide invaluable inspiration, information, and practical guidance about how university – or one of the growing number of degree apprenticeships –can lead to aspirational, rewarding careers in areas like technology, law, banking & finance, and engineering.

If you’ve already registered to watch the programme – thank you – but please do share this information so that as many Year 12 students and their parents are are able to watch too: https://graduatecareers.live/

The programme features employers, recent graduates, degree apprentices, recruitment experts and special guests – including Robert Halfon, Minister for Skills, Apprenticeships & Higher Education and Zoe Thomas, author of The Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide – plus the very latest research and insight on what it takes to be successful in the graduate job market.

Graduate Careers Live! will be essential viewing for all Year 12 students and their parents, just before they begin considering their post-sixth form options, visiting universities and researching degree apprenticeship opportunities.

The programme is being presented by Levi Jouavel, a BBC Three presenter who began her career as a BBC apprentice and Martin Birchall, Editor of TheTimesTop100GraduateEmployers.

It is being produced by High Fliers Research, in partnership with the Department for Education.

We hope you’ll be able to join us for the programme on Thursday 27th April – live at 2pm – or on catch-up afterwards.
