Learning Partnership Events
Connect your business to students at one of our networking events.
Networking events for students and industry
We organise several employer-student networking events through the year.
The events follow a trade show format. Each event has a theme or is sector-specific. This means that both you and the students attending know there is a shared interest.
The events are a great way for students to explore "what's next." This might be exploring internship, placement and graduate opportunities. Or it might be as simple as exploring careers that they haven't looked at before.
For your organisation, the events are a great way to meet and build relationships with future talent, fellow industry exhibitors, and future customers.
If you would like to find out more or discover the best event for you, please do get in touch.
