Why should I attend employer events?

By taking part in our Spring Careers Fest activities, it allows you to explore various opportunities such as:

  • Graduate roles.
  • Placements.
  • Internships.
  • Vacation work.

It also gives you the opportunity to speak with employers, where you can:

  • Gain inside knowledge about how the company works.
  • Get top tips on how to be successful in the application process.
  • Some employers will be offering students the opportunity to take part in a fast-track interview. This means you could secure your graduate role/placement position right there on the day!

We endeavour to provide the widest possible range of graduate, internship and placement opportunities to our students and we work in partnership with employers to achieve this.
