Are you an Ulster University student or graduate looking for career inspiration, advice and support?
Future Skills Week will offer something for all Ulster University students and graduates including access to information and advice as well as support for finding internship, placement and graduate opportunities. With hundreds of opportunities already up for grabs on the University’s vacancy management system, Handshake, Future Skills Week will help students and graduates to identify suitable roles, hone interview skills, and connect with professionals across a range of sectors.
Angela Scanlon, Director of Employability at Ulster, gives an insight into what’s on offer, “
Future Skills Week will provide an invaluable programme of support to students and graduates including, inspirational advice, digital skills boosters, job search support, career coaching, enterprise development and personal confidence. As workplaces transform due to the impact of the pandemic, the University is providing increasing support for students and graduates to prepare for their professional working lives”.
Camilla Long, Co-Founder of Bespoke Communications, who will be offering students and graduates the opportunity to upskill on Professional Presentation Skills during Future Skills Week, emphasises the importance of not missing out:
“Competition for opportunities will remain high over the coming years and this programme of support will help significantly in preparing students and graduates to confidently engage and compete for careers they have already started to invest in”.
In addition to the week of activities students and graduates will be further supported with an intensive programme of support over the summer months including advice and guidance for job searches and applications, interview support and assessment centres.
