Summer opportunities with UCL Careers

Are you looking for ways to engage with UCL Careers over this summer?

We have several exciting opportunities for employers to get involved on campus that are still available for booking:

The brand-new UCL Global Citizenship Programme features UCL Careers running an intensive and varied Employability Summer School between June 2^nd and 13^th, including employer-led events, to help prepare students for life beyond university by putting them through their paces with employability skills. This is an opportunity to meet and engage with a large number of motivated, talented students willing to put in two week’s of non-obligatory work. For more information on individual events, please email Weronika Benning: w.benning@ucl.ac.uk

UCL Advances are running workshops on May 22^nd, 29^th, and June 6^th for upcoming summer internships, focusing on the difference between how students manage their academic studies and how they then operate in the workplace.  This can be a difficult transition and we welcome employers to help run these sessions on how to be better prepared. Students will learn about behaviours and attitudes, etiquette, confidence, and communication.  For more information email Weronika Benning at w.benning@ucl.ac.uk

UCL Jobs Market is taking place on the afternoon of 9th June 2014. This is a table top recruitment event for c400 graduating UCL students from all degree backgrounds, to meet a wide range of employers with immediate vacancies, or who offer rolling graduate recruitment.

UCL Talent Bank is a new fast tracking service which connects UCL students and graduates to a broad range of employers, including UCL Alumni. We will actively source opportunities for UCL students and present CV’s to employers. Contact Lizzy McKinney for further information: talentbank@ucl.ac.uk

Need an intern this summer?  If you would like to host an intern from UCL’s new Arts & Sciences BASc course this summer, we would love to hear from you.  The BASc students have good research and language skills and are available for a minimum of 6 weeks from mid June. Contact Charlotte c.turnbull@ucl.ac.uk for more details.

Focus on Management: 11^th– 12^th June 2014. This is an opportunity to allow new or aspiring managers to gain experience and coaching in managing people, by being a Team Manager of their own team of UCL students for two days. They will be observed by an experienced coach who will give them support and feedback on their managerial style. It would also offer a great deal of publicity to your organisation. Contact Vivienne Watson at v.watson@ucl.ac.uk for more information.

We are also looking for an employer to deliver a case study as part of this course. Focus on Management is a 3-day course, in which teams of pre-selected students take part in employer-led case studies. The course gives the students the opportunity to develop their commercial awareness, team working and presentation skills, whilst gaining an insight into management. For more information, please contact Trevor Bibic (t.bibic@ucl.ac.uk) or Natasha Weller (n.weller@ucl.ac.uk) by 16^th May.
