  • Deliver tailored classroom-based sessions on a range of common career-related topics, such as job searching, CV writing, applications and more.
  • Offer bespoke careers information, advice and guidance to all students through bookable 1-2-1 appointments with our fully qualified careers and employability coordinator.
  • Support with in-work progression and next steps for Apprentice learners through classroom-based sessions and flexible 1-2-1 appointments.

In addition, you’ll be invited to take part in activities related to events such as UCW’s National Careers Week, Graduate Focus Week and Weston College’s CareersFest employer fair.
