Virtual Graduate Recruitment and Internship Festival

10 - 12 June 2020 

Adjusting to current challenges we are pleased to announce details for the Virtual Graduate Recruitment and Internship Festival. 

There will be two main elements to the event:

• Exhibitors will participate in a webinar about their company and opportunities on our dedicated webinar platform. These will last up to 45 minutes (20 minutes presenting and up to 25 minutes for Q&A).  You will be supported by a dedicated University staff host so if this is your first ever webinar you will be in safe hands! Employer webinars will be scheduled between 10th - 12th June and you can let us know your preferred day and time when you book.  Training will be provided to use our webinar platform which is very straightforward to use. 
• Students will be able to book 10 minute telephone appointments with you between 14:00-16:00 on 12th June.  They will book these via our app, Careers Fair Plus.  When booking appointments, students will be asked to give some detail regarding what they want to talk about and provide a telephone number.  When you book we will ask you how many staff you will have available for one-to-one appointments and then create a call schedule for you in the Festival app.  

Participating companies will not be charged a fee.
