Employer Events

These events provide a direct opportunity to build your networks, discover the breadth of roles and options, focus your search and action your plan.

Alongside our larger fairs, we run smaller Networking Nights designed to facilitate deeper discussions and employer speed meets for a more intimate opportunity to explore internships, placements and opportunities.

Focusing on sectors that may not be represented at our larger Careers Fairs, our Careers Cafe Breakfast events are run in both autumn and spring and enable you to meet employers in a more relaxed setting, accompanied by a free drink and pastry!

These events are great opportunities to ask questions about the types of roles available - and what it's really like to work in that organisation, as attendees are often individuals performing the roles themselves.

Even better... we know students have been hired directly from attending these events in the past!
