Strive is your annual employability festival - a weeklong programme of workshops, guest speakers, and skills sessions aimed at boosting your employability and ensuring you're ready for the career world when you leave university.
STRIVE Employability Festival
Monday 24th February to Friday 28th February 2025
We have a busy week booked in, with a networking event, workshops, Q&A panels and industry specific talks.
13 employers have confirmed for the Netoworking event on Monday 24th February. These employers can help you to build the specific skills you need to get a job in their industry.
This year STRIVE is joining RepCon, so there will be a Student Rep mixer and skill sessions aimed at Student Reps.
Full-time elected officer hustings will be during the week too, so you can ask all the questions you may want to the nominees.
If you would like to be involved in STRIVE 2025, please email sutraining@bnu.ac.uk.
