Welcome to our Careers in Energy Fair It is great to see you at this year’s Careers in Energy Fair. Did you know that 86,000 new recruits will be required in the gas and electricity industries by 2025 to replace those that leave the workforce? The energy sector in the UK, and internationally, is a diverse sector with a growing need for highly skilled and educated graduates. The Careers in Energy Fair offers you the opportunity to meet a variety of employers who work in diverse areas such as oil and gas exploration and extraction, electricity generation and the growing renewables sector. Employers attending the fair may have opportunities for final years interested in graduate positions as well as year-long and summer placements for first, second and penultimate year students, in a range of interesting roles across their businesses.
Our team are here to help you understand and make the most of the graduate jobs market, not just today but throughout your time at university and once you graduate. Make sure you leave with a copy of our events guide so that you can see what’s happening this term. And finally, keep in touch. You can book an appointment to see us at www.nottingham.ac.uk/careers/ appointments You can also ask our experts a question on Facebook or Twitter. If you have a burning question, it’s a great way to get a quick answer. We hope you enjoy the day! Nalayini Thambar Director of Careers and Employability
Even if you are unsure whether a career in the energy sector is right for you, you can still learn a lot from the organisations visiting the fair about that they look for in students and graduates which will help you in future applications across other sectors – and you may even find out about opportunities you never knew existed.
