Careers Fairs

Careers Fairs

Careers fairs are a great opportunity to network with employers and find out about the skills and experience they are looking for, and to ask questions about their recruitment procedures. 

We run a variety of careers fairs throughout the year exploring part time work, career options for all, volunteering and charity, and some sector specific fairs (for example, Law, Energy, Engineering and Environment). Find out more below.

We encourage students at all stages to attend our careers fairs and chat to employers and professional representatives to find out about current and future opportunities. Learn how to prepare effectively for careers fairs and how to make the most of the experience on the day with our short online mini course.
