Career Destinations Events
Career Destinations run Events throughout the autumn, spring and summer terms, offering an excellent opportunity to profile your organisation and reach out to our students.
The 2010 spring and summer events calendar consisted of over 120 events and was attended by over 3,400 students.
We are currently currently taking requests from employers who would like to be involved in our Spring 2012 events, which start in January.
Please email employ@soton.ac.uk if you are interested in being involved.
Aim of Career Destinations Events
Events are open to all students regardless of year or subject of study.
We will not pre-select students and we ask employers to ensure that any sessions they run are generic in nature as the skills these events are promoting, are general employability skills which are required in a wide range of careers.
