Careers in Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering Fair Thursday 29 October 2015, 11.30am–2.30pm Engineering and Science Learning Centre, University Park
Careers and Employability Service www.nottingham.ac.uk/careers
Welcome to our Careers in Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering Fair
Now is a good time to be an engineering student, as the engineering workforce is ageing around 115,000 new engineers will be needed each year until 2020 just to replace those that have retired. This means that as an engineering student from The University of Nottingham you are well placed to meet this demand. Mechanical, materials and manufacturing engineering graduates especially have opportunities to work across a broad range of industry sectors such as aeronautical, automotive, construction, manufacturing and the energy industry. This fair offers you the opportunity to meet some of the organisations contributing to these vibrant sectors.
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!
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. Even if you are unsure which 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 any future applications across all industry sectors. You may even find out about opportunities you never knew existed.
