Careers on the Move

Careers on the Move is a national award-winning initiative brought to you by the Careers Service that will enable you to meet new people, network with prospective employers and see first-hand the impact your degree will have in the real world.

Careers on the Move Programs

Industry Connect       

Industry Connect takes you into fascinating workplaces to show you what your profession is all about. You will be given the chance to network with professionals in your field and hear from the experts to see where your degree can take you. In many of the workplaces, recent graduates will tell you about their career journey so far and give you insight into the application process. This is a series of events not to be missed!
