I worked as a Project Coordinator at the School of Business Management (SBM) Consult Programme. My core responsibility was to manage a team of five to explore and recommend how the Career and Enterprise Services (CES) at QMUL, could introduce a student-led peer-to-peer career initiative that will better engage current students and meet their needs regarding career-related activities. To do so, we planned and conducted in-depth interviews with officials from the QM Law Peer Career Coach Programme, the University of Leeds Employability Progression Assistance Programme; and the University of Liverpool Peer Career Coach Programme. We also engaged QMUL students through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) in developing recommendations that are specific to the needs of QMUL’s CES aiming to increase student engagement through implementing peer-to-peer career services. The final recommendation report and the presentation were highly praised by Judith Baines and resulted in a dialogue amongst the career services professionals across universities to make the subject matter a key agenda for the upcoming national conference.
