Welcome to the March edition of our Employer Newsletter.

What you will read about this month:

• AGCAS Academic Employability Awards
• What we've been up to since the beginning of semester two
• Spring Careers Fair bookings

Happy reading!

 We have been shortlisted for 6 categories in the AGCAS Academic Employability Awards, including University of the Year for academic employability. 

We are very proud of all our academic colleagues working across the university to embed employability in our teaching, and we will be keeping our fingers crossed on the 24th April, when the winners will be announced.

The first couple of weeks have been busy for our Employer Engagement Team. 

We’ve supported multiple employability events and employer insight sessions, arranged 10 employer pop-up stands*, and had 10 in-depth conversations with employers about their recruitment strategy and engagement opportunities.

*Including this amazing pop-up from Williams Racing with 300+ students signing up for their Early Careers Talent Pool. 

And there is more! We secured employers for a programme of 1:1 virtual mock interviews for the School of Biosciences. We’ve also been involved in multiple projects, like the Global Engineering Challenge, Engineering: You’re hired, 2nd-year Computer Science Software Hut and 3rd-year Mechanical Engineering projects, including several projects that were submitted by external partners. 

During our annual Careers Week, our team was involved in inviting employers to sessions such as the Working in Sheffield Panel Event and Disability inclusion: What does it mean and how do employers do it?  

Plus, we worked on the employability offer for our international students, including workshops with employers about international job hunting, and job seeking in China. On top of that, at the moment the 3-day Asia Careers Insight Series is taking place, with more than 40 employers from China, the South East Asia region and Hong Kong delivering talks to more than 20 UK universities.

And we are nowhere near done for this semester!  If you'd like to get involved, get in touch.

Spring Careers Fair is open for bookings for organisations recruiting for roles starting in Summer or Autumn 2025. 

Join us on campus on the 7th May 2025 and meet with students from all years and degree subjects, eager to find out more about graduate jobs,  internships, placements, and part-time jobs starting in the Summer / Autumn 2025. 

A limited number of free stands is available for eligible organisations. Access the booking form to find out more.
