Raise the profile of your organisation directly with King’s and aid our students’ discovery of the breath of opportunities across the role functions supporting aligned with creative functions in any industry, or roles across creative industries, alongside the broader cultural sector.
Our Cultural & Creative Careers Networking Night is designed to equip our engaged students and recent alumni with critical information on the breadth of industry areas, build their networks and help determine which area of the professions best aligns with their knowledge, skills and attributes.
Who should attend?
We want to showcase the true breadth of opportunities across the sector - and within each organisation, from digital marketing to journalism, screen industries to conservation. To achieve this, each organisation is asked to send at least two representatives undertaking different roles within their organisation who can engage our students, share their own experiences and equip them with the latest commercial awareness on that area.
The event is deliberately not framed as a direct recruitment activity for guests or our students - it is there to drive their commercial awareness, build networks and broaden horizons of the roles available to them for further research and exploration.
Your nominated representatives will be provided with:
- name badges
- light refreshments, snacks and soft drinks
Who will attend at King's?
This event is targeted at students in the Focus stage of their career thinking, with existing ideas about the roles or areas of cultural or creative careers they are looking for. They will be seeking guidance on how to make impact within these sectors, how to hone their creative skills to stand out, or understanding the breadth of roles which they didn't realise existed.
What's the format of the evening?
- 17:30-17:45 - Arrival and informal networking
- 17:45-18:30 - Formal panel chaired by King's Culture/Arts & Humanities faculty on trends across the industry (N.B. panellists will be selected separately to attendees booked for the networking element of this event)
- 18:30-19:30 - Formal networking between representatives and King's attendees, segmented into 'zoned' industry areas [refreshments served]
Why should I attend this event?
- It's FREE to attend compared to our main careers fair which has a cost incurred.
- Engage a student cohort with an existing clear thinking about their career direction - many attendees will have already made a clear choice these sectors are their future aspiration, or commenced applications and will be looking to meet industry representatives and ask questions about day-to-day life in your firm.
- Directly engage your King's alumni and other industry representatives in sharing their great experiences of your organisation culture, industry projects and opportunities.
- Maximise your brand and attraction at King's by spreading the resource allocation of your Graduate Recruitment or HR teams by engaging other industry representatives on your behalf.
