Employer Events and Careers Fairs

Careers, Employability and Student Enterprise organises many events throughout the year which are designed to assist you with your career planning, whether you're a student or a graduate.  These events are either delivered by members of the careers team or graduate employers.

 Why attend Careers Fairs and Employer Events?

• Gain valuable insight into potential career areas and sectors.
• Increase confidence when making applications and help yourself stand out from the rest.
• It is a great chance to ask questions 121 and in group settings.
• Developing understanding of the skills and competencies employers are looking for in their recruitment processes.
• Sector specific events help give real, personal insight into industries of interest and provide the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
• It is never too early to think about work experience or graduate roles; employers at fairs often have either or both.

Prepare for the Fair

To help you in your preparation for the Fairs and Employer events, Careers, Employability and Student Enterprise run a series of Design Your Future Workshops such as "Explore...CVs" and "Stand out! How to identify your skills and stand out to employers". Make sure to book your space via MyCareer.

Accessibility

We want these events to be accessible to every student. Please get in touch via fairs@southampton.ac.uk to let us know of any reasonable adjustments you may need.
