Wednesday 15 February, 12:00 until 14:00 (please note that there will also be an on-campus event on 8 February)

This year’s Internships and Work Experience Fair will be taking place across two different dates, firstly on campus on 8 February followed by a virtual fair on 15 February. This gives you the flexibility to choose which suits your circumstances best, although please note that employers also have the choice so we recommend that you attend both to maximise the amount of organisations available to meet with you.

Careers Network have partnered with Careers Connect to host this year’s virtual Internships and Work Experience Fair. Virtual careers fairs are online events that allow employers and students to meet in virtual environments such as through 121 Chat or Group Chat video calls. You will have the opportunity to meet with a wider range of employers, some of whom may not typically attend an all-day on-site event, whilst not having to leave your home or study area.

Book onto our Internships and Work Experience Fair for the opportunity to meet a range of graduate recruiters who are offering challenging work experience, summer internships and year placements. Talk with recruiters face-to-face about their recruitment processes, explore your options, and discover opportunities for 2023, both in the UK and abroad. To view a complete employer listing please book your place and view the event on Careers Connect, Internships and Work Experience Fair (Virtual event) but please note that new employers are being added every week leading up to the fair.

Ahead of the fair, schedule 10 minute meetings with employers to ask questions about the employer, their opportunities or their industry. Please note that these meetings are not interviews but informal chats. Meetings are booked on a first-come first-served basis and employers will be adding their schedules in the run up to the fair so please keep checking back.

Alternatively, if you have a quick question that won’t take 10 minutes or couldn’t find a suitable appointment, visit the employer’s Group Chat room! 

Make sure you read the below guide, which explains how to use the Careers Connect platform for the virtual Internships and Work Experience Fair.
