Additionally, the Careers Team support will feature heavily throughout the week of 4-8 March on the St George's, University of London social media channels.
We want to ensure students know that we are here to help – we'll let you know what the Careers Service does, how to access us and, provide regular top tips for enhancing your employability skills.
So check out Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn during the week.

'Beat the Clock: Enhancing Employability Skills.'
Transdisciplinary Workshop
You’ll have 60 minutes to solve a ‘wicked problem’. Spend your lunchtime generating ideas and presenting solutions in a team with other students from a range of programmes at St George’s. Apply and develop your skills of persuasion, decision making, problem solving, presenting, time management and more. Even better, you can go on to use the experience when you apply for jobs. Who doesn’t want to employ quick thinkers who have collaborated in a trans/multidisciplinary team and are not afraid of a challenge?
All students welcome; from any programme and year of study.
Tickets are free but require registration due to limited numbers. |
