Our dedicated Careers team is offering an extra 6 months of support for 2020 and 2021 finalists. The team will be providing support wherever needed in a range of areas from exploring career ideas to navigating recruitment processes.

Please encourage any students to explore the range of support available from the Careers Team, including:

• One-to-one career coaching: Support through coaching with our Careers Consultants in-person, via email, phone or Teams.
• Careers training: Access to all careers events including recruitment fairs, workshops and webinars.
• Graduate Careers Support Programme: Access to a series of webinars exclusively for Graduates led by Careers Consultants and Industry Professionals.
• A monthly Newsletter: Showcasing Graduate opportunities with upcoming deadlines, upcoming events/fairs, relevant articles and resources
• LinkedIn Group: A community for all University of Reading Alumni to connect, share career advice, information, and opportunities.

“We appreciate that it’s not an easy time to enter the labour market. Research has shown that many students are concerned about missed opportunities for work experience and skills development over the past year, and graduates who aspire to work in hard-hit sectors may find it more difficult to get that first job. But things are starting to look up, and we know that our graduates have a lot to offer. Supporting our graduates to adapt to an evolving labour market now, will stand them in good stead for managing lifelong careers.”  

Anne Delauzun, Head of Careers and Employability
