STRIVE is our yearly employability festival, which aims to provide Networking opportunities, Skills sessions, Q&A sessions, Panels and Workshops. It is never too early for students to start thinking about their career whether they're in their first or final year.
Last year was our best-attended year and we aim to make this even better!
We have already packed out the timetable, with sessions still being added. We are very invested in the growth and development of students, and hosting this employability festival is key to students' development. This aids students after university, as they will have gained various skills to use in job applications, interviews and networking.
Our networking event has employers from many different industries, which allows students to gain relevant information about how to get a job with them.
The rest of the week is full of workshops with professionals, who can provide key skills for working after university, Panels and Q&A's with alumni, where they can showcase real-life experiences.
You can sign up to all events NOW on the What's On page!!
