We've brought together a range of sectors into one large event, which has proved highly successful since the pandemic in attracting a broad mix of students across disciplines and demographics, making it perfect for employers looking to engage with individuals who may still be narrowing down their options. Raise the profile of your organisation directly with King’s and aid our students’ discovery of the breath of opportunities across a range of sectors.

Held as part of a broader institutional week focused on careers, skills and employability, this event sits alongside panels, sector-specific workshops and much more.

Targeted at penultimate year students, finalists and postgraduates the event has also attracted a number of first years eager to explore the options available and build their networks.

Attendees will expect to meet with representatives from human resources/graduate recruitment, alumni and business representatives.
