Virtual careers sessions

Employer talks

Employer sessions

A wide range of employers get involved with workshops and skills sessions at the University of York - these offer a great opportunity to find out about the company and its culture, and ask questions direct to the employer. All sessions will be virtual events in Autumn 2020, and we are also looking forward to welcoming employers to our virtual fairs in week 3 Autumn Term. Find out more in Handshake.

Many employers are also offering their own programme of virtual events and insight sessions, in addition to those arranged with Careers and Placements. You can find these in Handshake event listings.

Student comments:

"A very informative and motivating event
Gives you a stronger idea of what skills you already have which are relevant
Gave information on the actual skills employers look for, from the employers themselves
inspiring… informative… a bit different."
