Class of 23: Employability support for graduating students

If you are graduating there are some things that you can be sure of, like the ongoing support from your Careers and Employability team.

We’re here to help you plan your next steps and develop your employability skills. Earlier this week, the Careers and Employability team delivered three sessions focusing on core areas of graduate employability support that in our experience are some of the most helpful at this time of year.

Recordings of the sessions, along with some further supporting content for our Class of 23 will be released and shared with you soon.

As a follow-up to this workshop, you can book an appointment with a Career Development Adviser for an in-depth review of your CV draft.
