Graduates – Supporting Your University

Career Destinations encourages all our alumni to support us in enhancing our academic programmes and in developing employment opportunities for our students and recent alumni. If you have an idea or would like to get involved in any of the opportunities listed below please email us at inspire@southampton.ac.uk

 

Inspire our students

We would appreciate your knowledge and expertise to help drive and motivate our students towards successful careers, and to inspire them to stand out from the crowd. Opportunities for you to get involved include:

 

International Awareness Programme:

Interested in sharing your experiences of living and working abroad? You can tell your story through a wide range of student focussed resources/tools, all of which will inspire our current students to go abroad.

 

Expert / Alumni Talks:

Volunteer to be a panellist/speaker at University and School events. This is your chance to speak directly to our students about your expertise, current role and/or career path to date.

 

Career Mentoring:

The global graduate market is more competitive than ever. One way to get an edge in the market is by learning from the voices of experience. Get acquainted with students who need and want mentors, and share with them valuable input that will help them to achieve their goals and shape their futures. For more information on our mentoring programme please visit the website.

 

Email and Video Testimonials:

Provide insight on your career and experiences; share practical tips, and the secret to your success.

 

Connect with our students

We would like to offer you the opportunity as an alumnus to reach out to a current Southampton student or recent graduate and help them take their first step in their career.

 

Work Experience:

Can you offer work placements, projects or internships? Our team are committed to finding our students the right opportunities to further their skills and experience. Please contact us if you, or your organisation, can provide any work experience opportunities.

 

Graduate and Student Employment:
