All the events will be run on MS Teams, if you have not used this platform before, don't worry we will provide you with all the information you will need. A member of our team will support each session.
Careers in Sessions
These sessions are designed to provide students with an ‘Insight’ into a particular sector. It's a great opportunity to share your knowledge and provide students with hints, tips and advice.
The event will be run similarly to a panel event, each employer will have around 10 -15 minutes to present their career journey to date. We typically invite 3-4 employers along to these sessions and we would especially like to hear from alumni and recent graduates. The event will also end with a 15-20 minute Q&A session.

Online Mock Assessment Centres
Careers Network has been running a highly successful programme of Mock Assessment Centre workshops over the past few years on campus, delivered in collaboration with many respected employers. Unsurprisingly, this year mock assessment centres will be virtual.
Working with Careers Network staff, Employers are invited to contribute a segment in an opening talk with tips and advice for assessment centres, deliver a realistic group exercise of their choice during a 1-hour breakout session, and then reconvene to take part in a short Q&A session.
