The UCL Jobs Market will be held on Wednesday 8th June during the afternoon, and will last for around 2.5 hours. This will be promoted to students from ALL degree disciplines, so you should expect to see a wide range of students, and we hope to equal or exceed last year’s numbers- around 400. The event is free for organisations to attend- all we ask is that you are able to showcase an immediate vacancy for either graduates or undergraduates that meet National Minimum Wage, or that you operate rolling graduate recruitment. Space is limited, meaning we will provide you with a small table top to display literature and promotional items, but there is not space for “Nomadic” or pop up display stands. You may bring a small roll up banner if you wish. Please email Pat Molloy at careers.events@ucl.ac.uk

Summer opportunities with UCL Careers

By UCL Careers, on 16 April 2014

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:

UCL Employability Summer School

The brand-new UCL Global Citizenship Programme features UCL Careers running an intensive and varied Employability Summer School between June 2nd and 13th, 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 22nd, 29th, and June 6th 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. The event is free for employers to attend, but space is limited- please email phil.howe@ucl.ac.uk by Friday 23rd May if you are keen to attend.

Focus on Management: 11th– 12th 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 16th May.
