Build your confidence with career workshops
We know it can be hard to know where to start when thinking about applications, placements or future plans. That’s why we’ve created a programme of short, practical sessions to help you build confidence in your employability skills.
Get Started On…
Our Get Started On… resources are short, recorded sessions designed to introduce you to key areas of employability. Each recording provides practical, entry-level information to help you build your knowledge, understand the basics and feel more prepared before attending one of our live employability workshops, employer sessions or career events.
You can access recordings on:
• CVs and cover letters: learn how to make a strong first impression.
• LinkedIn: discover how to build a professional profile that works for you.
• Interviews: understand what to expect and how to prepare with confidence.
• Finding and applying to part-time jobs: explore practical tips for finding work alongside your studies or after you graduate.
• Finding work in the UK & workplace culture: gain insight into UK recruitment and workplace expectations, particularly if you are an international student.
Watch the recordings at a time that suits you, then continue developing your skills by attending our in-person employability workshops and employer events.
