Career Fairs

The Careers and Employment Service hosts Career Fairs for current students and recent graduates. These events are a great way to meet employers, find job opportunities explore different career options, and find out what organisations are looking for.

Whether you're searching for a graduate job, placement, internship, or just want to improve your networking skills, Career Fairs are for everyone.

We run both general fairs and events tailored to specific colleges. In the past, we've welcomed a wide range of employers, including Rolls-Royce, JCB, Experian, Enterprise, and the NHS.
