Join us and find out why the best careers often combine both.
Whether you're looking for work, thinking about self-employment, or just not sure which direction to go, Career Connect is designed to help you upgrade your employability skills and inspire your career direction.
This isn't a standard careers fair; it's a day designed around the reality that the best careers don't always follow a straight line. We're bringing together expert entrepreneurs and professionals with skills workshops, CV surgeries, advice clinics, job opportunities and a panel Q&A.
What's On
CV
Surgery
Bring your CV and sit down with someone who'll help you make it work harder. Whether you're starting from scratch or just need a second pair of eyes, you'll leave with something you're confident sending out.
Employability
Skills Workshops
Practical, hands-on sessions covering the skills employers look for and how to talk about what you already bring to the table. Workshops are capped at 25 spaces.
Spaces are limited; secure yours when you register.
Industry
Advice Clinics
One-to-one conversations with professionals working across a range of industries. Come with your questions. Leave with clarity, contacts, and a better sense of where you could go.
Job
Corner
Job Corner is a no-pressure space where someone will sit with you, find out what you're looking for, match you to a real opportunity, then help you take the first steps toward applying.
Panel Talk
Entrepreneur or Employee? Why the best careers often combine both.
Hear directly from people who've navigated the employee-entrepreneur question and come out the other side with careers they've built on their own terms.
Featuring:
-
Elizabeth Puddicombe - founder of East&Essex
-
Regis Gnaly - founder of Griot Kitchen
Final speaker still to be announced
