Employability Conference

Getting you ‘ready for work’ alongside your qualification starts as soon as your begin your study. Being ready for work isn’t just about the skills you need on the job, but also the skills you need to get the job. Interview processes and applications can be extremely daunting at first glance, and that’s why we make every effort to coach and mentor you from choosing a placement that is right for you to filling out an application form and perfecting your interview skills.

The Level 1 Maths Employability Conference is a day dedicated to the intricacies of covering letters, CVs and learning how to truly sell yourself.

The main purpose of the day is to give our students an insight into what they can expect at an assessment centre and interview. The day simulates the assessment centre environment where students are given various activities to complete e.g. group activities, psychometric tests, etc.
