Meet the Educational professions panel
As part of the ‘Your Career Starts Here – Health and Education Fair’, we are inviting you to meet industry professionals who are working in education in their careers.
Open to anyone in the health and education faculty, you will hear from a variety of professionals who can give you the good and the bad about their work. It is proven that hearing from people in industry can be hugely impactful. It has made students more excited and more determined about their potential careers. It has also put some off certain jobs!
If you are someone still exploring your options then this could be perfect for you, because the less you know the more there is to learn.
