This event is designed to help you make the most of your skills, explore career pathways and discuss options with employers. There will be lots of degree relevant opportunities but if you’re open minded and curious this fair will offer you the chance to explore roles in different sectors. At the event you can expect to find out about placements, graduate vacancies and other work experience on offer. During the event you can gain an edge over other applicants by finding out about the employer’s selection processes and building your professional network.
