Services and opportunities available to you:
Careers and Enterprise can support you in finding part-time work and work experience from the moment you arrive at Queen Mary, all the way through to helping you secure further study or a graduate job when you leave. Every school has a dedicated Careers Consultant, providing workshops and one-to-one careers appointments all designed to help you grow in your career thinking and secure success.
Hear from Abi Gaston below, one of the managers here at Careers and Enterprise, who talks about some of the ways in which we can support first year students:
The first year is a great time to start exploring your job options. We can help you do that through our employer events, alumni panels and QTaster programme, where you sample different job sectors through employer visits. If you think you may want to start your own business, then link into our enterprise programme which offers training and seed funding for aspiring entrepreneurs.
