​
'The Best Thing I've Done’: A Techne Placement Roundtable
17:30 - 18:30
The Library Room
​
Have you been thinking about doing a placement but not sure whether it’s for you?
​
We’re bringing together a group of students who have either completed a placement or are in the process of doing so to get together, discuss their experiences as a group and provide tips, tricks and guidance to those in attendance about how to get the most out of your placement.
'Life is a bowl of crisps' - The Careers Cabaret
17:30 - 18:30
The Conservatory Room
​
An evening cabaret of career storytelling and career re-imagining, as we collaborate, question, and challenge the status quo of what a successful career looks like. Anything can happen in life, and anything might happen in the Careers Cabaret.
Come along with your questions, your answers, to share, or observe - and most definitely to eat some crisps together.
