Employability and Careers Services

You already have your own unique set of skills which you should identify and take into account when making your job choice. Then there are other transferable skills which you can learn and improve on, which will help you for your successful career path.

Do work experience

Relevant work experience is a valuable way of gaining experience in your possible future career. It can also help you to put into practice key elements from your course, build up your knowledge of a particular career field, and can be an essential form of networking. 

Volunteer

Volunteering can help you to develop skills, have fun, and you can do it whilst you are studying and/or during vacations.  It’s also an excellent way to meet people with similar interests. Volunteering experience can set you apart from others, demonstrating to potential employers your initiative and commitment. We have a volunteering team to help you put you in touch with organisations looking for volunteers. For further information on volunteering opportunities go to Volunteer.
