Careers Ambassadors

We are very fortunate that colleagues from the following subjects (below) have kindly agreed to be a Careers Ambassador to represent their department.

These colleagues will be championing the career possibilities linked to their subject areas, supporting the calendared #careers weeks by linking curriculum teaching to careers, engaging students with information about where different subjects can take them and developing skills to help students to be successful. Some will organise talks from alumni to speak with students directly about their career journeys. The ultimate aim is to raising awareness of the importance of linking curriculum learning to careers. The representatives will act as a point of contact for students to find out more information about specific subject areas.
