Fancy a career with a difference?
Published on 22 February 12
Working 9 to 5 isn't for everyone. Nor is wearing a suit every day or working for someone else.
March is 'Careers with a Difference' month and the Careers Service has arranged a number of events designed to help you think outside of the box when it comes to your career.
What is on offer?
- Enterprise- 'Are you crazy enough to run your own business?' - why don’t you come along and find out? Plus, we can help you get started with writing a business plan and everything else you need to go it alone.
- Environmental Sector- Keen on all things green? Working in the environmental sector might be for you! Find out- from those who have made it- what it takes to make it.
- International Development- What to change the world? Come along to our entire afternoon dedicated to International Development and find out how!
