Feeling unsure about what to expect from a Careers Fair? Want to feel prepared talking to employers? Why not attend the Careers Fair prep session?

Careers Fair Preparation- Confidence Coaching Workshop – open to all students – 26 Oct, 2-3pm

Want to stand out to employers?

Your degree alone is not enough to guarantee your dream job. Employers are looking for candidates who stand out from the crowd and have developed their skills and ambitions. But don’t worry, your future starts here with The Lincoln Award – the employability award that helps you develop both your skills and experiences.

What is the Lincoln Award?

The Lincoln Award is an employability framework designed to support you in preparing for your future- open to ALL students! It supports you to develop your employability skills by helping you to feel confident about facing any recruitment process, helping you to identify and communicate your skill set across to employers, and giving you vital experience- exactly what employers are looking for.

On completion of the award, you’ll feel confident within your career direction, skills and understanding of the recruitment process.

Once completed, The Lincoln Award will be displayed on your graduation certificate enabling you to provide evidence of your extracurricular experiences to future employers!

You’re probably already doing activities that count towards the Lincoln Award so why not make use of it and complete it?

The Glanville Lecture 2022 will explore our human rights, and in particular, how we protect the human rights of others who cannot, for a variety of reasons, protect themselves.

On 10 December 1948 (a date that is now commemorated annually as Human Rights Day), the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The UDHR is a milestone document that proclaims the inalienable rights which everyone is entitled to as a human being – regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Available in more than 500 languages, it is the most translated document in the world.

Wednesday 18 May 2022
