The careers team and Propeller Student Enterprise are running five short online workshops across the space of a week all designed to help you start your post-graduate career. The sessions cover topics such as finding career opportunities, networking, interview preparation, CV and cover letters.

Everyone who completes the programme will get £100 to help with interview clothes, travel costs or business set up costs.

The sessions run from 1-3pm, Monday through to Friday, via Teams. There are three different weeks available, so please choose a week where you are free to attend all the sessions. The start dates are:

• Monday 22 May
• Monday 5 June
• Monday 21 August

The programme is open to students from our Burnley, Preston and Westlakes campuses but places are limited so you will need to apply through CareerEDGE by Monday 1 May 2023.

Please note that if you have been on the programme before or you will only graduate after December 2023, you are not eligible to apply this year.
