Did you know 1 in 3 of our graduates go on to work in small and medium-sized enterprises?* Working in a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) can offer you a challenging and varied role where you’ll have the opportunity to make a big difference in a small company.
Why should I attend? It’s a great opportunity to talk to students and graduates about their internships and careers in SMEs. In the UK’s private sector, SMEs employ more than 14 million people† and they want to recruit talented graduates to help their businesses grow. Following presentations from each panel member, you’ll get the chance to ask them any questions you have.
