Careers and Employability Centre holds What Next? week to guide students on life after college

Over 270 students took time out to consider what their next move could be after completing their course.

Organised by the Careers & Employability Centre activities included:

Presentations for International students looking for positions back home covering graduate and job market trends in Asia and how to start a job search in Asia.

Employer presentations by the Civil Service, Explore Learning and GCS Recruitment.

Postgraduate Fair with stands from other local universities and UCB.

Options after FE – a fair featuring apprenticeship training providers, West Midlands Universities and advice on student finance.

GAP/Volunteering/ Summer Work fair

Hazel Foggin, Careers & Employability Coordinator said:

“The question ‘what next’? should be at the forefront of students minds from the start of their studies at UCB. It is important for students to find the time to research options and develop the employability and study skills that will enable students to be successful in the next stage of their career. The events in the week helped to raise students awareness of a wide range of opportunities that are available to them and I would like to pass on my thanks to all the external organisations and employers who gave their support to the events so willingly.”
