Services for departments

We offer a range of support to departments to help develop the employability skills of students. Activities are delivered centrally or within departments:

  • bespoke careers fairs
  • bespoke workshops on career planning, job hunting and application skills for undergraduate, postgraduate and research students
  • training for students preparing for and returning from work placements
  • labour market intelligence / employer links
  • recruitment and selection of temporary student employees.

Each academic department has a Careers Liaison Officer, who works with us to arrange department-specific support. Please contact your CLO  for further information.
