Manchester Met Business and Law alumni support Week 6: Get Career Ready
The event provided a wide range of resources to enhance career readiness, including career fairs, motivational talks, interactive sports sessions, short courses, and much more.
More than 1,400 students participated in these engaging activities, which were crafted to enhance their confidence, strengthen essential employability skills, and create valuable networking opportunities with industry professionals.
We were thrilled to welcome back 22 alumni who shared their expertise and led inspiring sessions such as Breaking Boundaries: Exploring Careers Outside of Your Field and From Stress to Success: Overcoming Career Anxiety. Highlights included keynote talks from Ashley Giles MBE, CEO of Worcestershire County Cricket Club; Saeed Atcha MBE DL, CEO of Youth Leads UK; Leila Enoki - Student Vice President; Bridget Lea, VP and General Manager for the UK at Snap Inc. and Cody Gapare, Founder of the multi-award-winning C-Lash. Their talks were met with enthusiasm and appreciation, inspiring everyone in attendance.
Feedback was overwhelmingly positive. One student shared, “”I enjoyed attending this session as it gave me an insight to what I may want to do in the future.”
Looking ahead, the University will host Future Me Week from January 20-24 2025, a campus-wide event supporting students from all faculties in building essential career skills.
