Published: 26 October 2005
The Careers Service would like to invite you to the Fourth Internship Fair which will take place in the Hunter Halls from 11am-3pm on Tuesday 1 November.
The only source of knowledge is experience - Albert Einstein
Following the great success of the previous University Internship Fairs, the Careers Service is hosting this year's event on 1st November in the Hunter Halls, and would be delighted if you could come along. This year's Fair has the biggest number of employers attending to date, with an even wider variety of opportunities than previously.
Structured work experience can make a very important contribution towards enhancing the employability of our students. It is also a fact that many more companies are beginning to use internships as a recruiting ground for graduates for the future.
It is the aim of the Internship Fair to bring together companies with work-experience placement opportunities and students who are seeking them.
