Journey to Work - Latest videos
These videos shows students as they prepared for life after university. The students talk about their career ambitions and what they have already done to maximise their chances of getting a job they want.
They listen to advice from industry mentors and careers advisers. We then meet them again a few months later to see whether they found the advice useful, have uncovered exciting opportunities or had a chance of heart. Graduate recruiters tell us what makes an applicant stand out.
