Another fantastic event took place last term, which was hosted by the Careers and Employability Service (CES) as part of the Creative Industries Employability Series with the School of Arts and Architecture (SAA). This event focused on conversations with creative industry leaders.
This was a strong session delivered by three highly accomplished alumni, one academic practitioner and two industry professionals. The speakers delivered their personal career journeys, discussed projects they have worked on (including major award-winning films and large-scale productions) and offered practical advice to students in film, editing, production design and performance. The session also created meaningful networking with students and potential short-term placement opportunities.
Don’t forget, if you missed out and would like career guidance and support, you can always reach out to the Careers and Employability team to book an appointment. You can also take advantage of all the workshops, events and career tools and resources the team have to offer. To find out more, click here.
