Book your place for the LBU Employability Conference 2023

17 May 2023

Bookings are now open for academic and professional colleagues to join the LBU Employability Conference 2023 on Thursday 22 June in the Leeds School of Arts Building.

Join careers professionals from LBU and across the sector to discuss how we support our students and graduates facing the working world and celebrate best-practice for employability initiatives across the university.

The conference will focus on key strategic priorities for LBU and the sector, related to employability and graduate outcomes. It will explore the regulatory influence; the embedding and surfacing of employability in and alongside the curriculum; how we’re preparing our students for a complex world and how we evolve how we’re doing that through an evidence based approach, including the launch of new data insights on our students and graduates career aspirations.

We’ll be joined by sector experts including Aranee Manoharan, Dr Charlie Ball, Rebecca Fielding and Dr Bob Gilworth. Read the full agenda and book your place here.

This year’s conference will also feature the inaugural Staff Employability Excellence Awards which recognise individuals and teams who have made significant contributions to supporting student career development, employability, industry partnerships, experiential learning and enterprise education.
