Careers Fest Activities

Brand Awareness are one of our most popular types of event at 含羞草视频. They are a great opportunity to meet with high numbers of students on an individual basis, in an informal setting.

These activities are particularly useful for companies wishing to raise their profile as a recruiter amongst a wider student body.

Concepts that have been popular by attracting high volumes of students, and resulted in successful outcomes for employers are:

• Coffee carts, handing out free hot drinks.
• Food carts, such as waffles, popcorn machines or sweets.
• Interactive games, such as a ‘spin the wheel’ where students could win a gift voucher or merchandise from your organisation.

Students are drawn to stands where there are eye catching displays and interesting giveaways/freebies. Having approachable and pro-active representatives, will also help to make your event a success.

This is only a guide however, and the format is entirely your choice. We are happy to discuss any ideas and suggestions you might have.

Mock Assessment Centres allow you to raise your organisation's profile on campus and interact with our most pro-active and engaged students, to give them a higher chance of being successful in your recruitment process.

These sessions are open to students from all year groups and disciplines and take place both in-person and virtually.

The University takes its responsibility for the environment seriously and understands the need to respond to the challenges we face globally around issues such as climate change, human wellbeing, food, water and energy security.

Please help us to respond to these challenges by making greener choices when it comes to your event. This can be achieved by:

• Bring a reusable travel cup and a water bottle with you. We have plenty of water fountains and café’s around campus for you to refill your cup.
• Avoiding single-use plastics in giveaways/merchandise.
• Reduce waste by using reusable resources that can be used at other events.
• Using public transport when visiting the University. A train station is situated 10 minutes away from the university, and buses run regularly onto campus.
• Avoid food items that are individually wrapped in plastic. Instead, bring items in recyclable or re-useable packaging.
• Reduce carbon emissions by phasing out merchandise made from textiles, like tote bags.
• Favour products manufactured from recycled materials rather than virgin material.
