Making the transition from University to graduate employment
Whether you have secured a graduate job already or are still looking for a position, starting work for the first time can be daunting but it needn’t be. It will be different; you will face a variety of new challenges compared with those you now face at university. There will also be many opportunities open to you, for example working abroad or taking on a role very different from that which you have always imagined. By taking advantage of your time here at the University we can help you make the transition to work a successful one.
New for the spring term 11 -12 we have two ‘transition’ modules
Career Transitions – Careers and Employability Service
You will need to be free to attend an introductory session and a final session. There will be a choice of two dates for each. In addition to this you will attend 4 session of your choosing offered by the Careers and Employability Service. These could be workshops, CV review sessions or a whole range of other activities.
A timetable will be sent to students who express an interest in the module at the start of the spring term.
Michael Page International – Introduction to Workplace Preparation
This module will provide students with the opportunity to participate in business skills workshops and live business scenario training. You will develop skills in
- Customer service, telephone skills, client management
- Operational and organisational awareness
- Team working and presenting
This is likely to take place both on and off campus and a timetable will be available to students who express an interest at the start of the spring term.
To register an expression of interest in one of these modules please email
