Networking events for students and industry
Connect your business to students at one of our networking events.
As part of our learning partnerships for students and business we run a number of student-industry networking events through the year.
The events are designed to get students talking with and thinking about industry from their first term of studies. Each event has a slighlty different audience and emphasis.
The events are very popular with businesses. They are a great way to help your business build relationships and brand with employees and customers of the future.
If you would like to join an event, get in touch and we'll work with you to find the best event to attend.
