This event has been created to help level the playing field for all students. ‘It’s not what you know, it’s who you know’ is a common saying when it comes to getting a job. And that’s all well and good for students who have the necessary contacts. But what about those who don’t?
Students will meet with top UK 300-ranked employers to make those all-important connections, learn about different opportunities in a range of fields, and access exclusive information and tips from recruiters and recent graduates about application processes.
Why attend?
According to recent Cibyl research, students from lower income backgrounds, expect their earnings to be an average of £24,502 compared to that of those students from better off backgrounds £27,178. This is where INSPIRE can help you and level the playing field.
