The sessions give students an invaluable insight about the current state of the different employment sectors, what employers are looking for when recruiting students & graduates, and what they can do to stand out from the crowd plus much, much more!The idea is to provide a range of activities at least one of which should be appropriate to every student, and which should complement the work that the students complete in the skills part of the curriculum.
