Attend events
We provide students with a variety of excellent opportunities to meet employers. We run hugely popular careers fairs, skills sessions, company presentations, employer pop-ups and more. This gives you the chance to engage with employers both in person and online to explore a range of career options, talk directly to recruiters, hear about upcoming roles and get company specific information in an informal environment.
Employer Events
There are currently no employers coming onto campus to deliver an event.
Alternatively, you can:
Look for external employer events on Target Connect
We regularly advertise external events that employers are holding. These are usually held online but are sometimes based in the organisation’s offices (a great opportunity to see where you could potentially be working!) These events are designed to:
- Up-skill you in their recruitment process.
- Gain inside knowledge on how to be successful in their application process.
- Hear first-hand about the amazing opportunities they have available.
You can find these using the filtering feature and searching for ‘external event adverts.’
Check the organisations website
Do you dream of working for that one organisation? If the answer is yes, then make sure you check out their company website to see what internal events they are holding, and for live updates on when their vacancies go live.
