Register for our Virtual Graduate Recruitment and Placement Fair

The Graduate Recruitment and Placement Fair will take place online this year on 21st and 22nd October through Graduateland. Known as the "Tinder for jobs" this platform will match you with relevent employers but only if you spend some time creating a bio. 

The more information you put in to completing your bio, the better you will stand out to employers. You can browse employers, watch videos and see current vacancies. The good news is, you only need to complete your profile once and your info will be stored for all future events.
