career planning and support
We are here to offer you help and support long after you graduate
We can help with all aspects of career planning and decision-making, along with helping you to recognise and develop your employability skills. This could help with career planning and understanding options with your degree, searching for jobs and writing a CV or application, making a killer impression at a job interview, developing a good online presence or advice on how to make the most of a graduate fair.
Student view Accounting & Finance graduate Amy Cashmore talks about how networking opportunities at Leeds Beckett helped her find a graduate role she loves.
