Join us for the first ‘How to…’ event of the 2025-26 academic year, hosted by the King’s Alumni Relations Team in collaboration with King’s Edge. This is your chance to hear directly from King’s alumni about how to get ahead in your career.

In this session, our expert panel will explore the diverse career paths available to those wanting to make a positive social impact through their work. We will explore what social impact can look like in different industries and roles, how to push for change in both third sector and corporate environments, and how to apply your pre-existing skills into a new context. 

 

About our speakers
