Networking events for students and industry
Connect your business to students at one of our networking events.
We organise several student-industry networking events through the year. Each event has a theme or is sector-specific. This ensures that businesses and students at the event know there is a shared interest.
The events are usually open to all students from STEM degrees. They are a great way for students to explore "what's next?"
They are also a great way for your business to meet and build relationships with employees, partners and customers of the future.
We publish information and sign-up details for all the events in the July before the next academic year starts in September.
If you would like to find out more or discover the best event for you, please do get in touch.
