Our former students’ association with the University College Birmingham community extends well beyond the last lecture and graduation. Many alumni are actively engaged with the University and return to share their experiences or offer students work experiences with their companies and organisations.
Similarly, there are a number of ways we can help you following graduation through hired@UCB, which is our careers and employability centre.
Hired@UCB
hired@UCB is responsible for delivering the University’s careers and employability services and provides alumni with support for up to five years after successful completion of their course.
We can help you with:
- Access to Hired Connect our online employability portal
- Support with CVs, Cover Letters and Applications
- Information for job searching and useful careers websites
- Access to practice psychometric tests (Hired Connect)
- Notification of recruitment fairs and employer presentations
- Notifications of roles, through Hired Connect and email
For more information about the services available to you, please email hired@ucb.ac.uk
