Discover – What can I do with my degree?

You could begin by researching career areas which are directly related to your degree, such as psychological wellbeing practitioner, counsellor, or education mental health practitioner. There are a large variety of positions in professions related to wellbeing, and new roles are being created regularly in this expanding sector. If you want to move away from this type of work, you could also explore careers that don’t relate so directly to your degree, using the experience and transferrable skills that you have developed. Did you know that over 80% of graduate employers will recruit from any degree subject?

Develop – Developing skills and experience

If you already have some career ideas, the next step will be to develop your skills and gain some experience to build your confidence and increase your knowledge. You may want to consider volunteering, part-time work or undertaking a placement, which will look fantastic on your CV and increase your chances of gaining graduate employment after completing your degree. It’s also a great way to try out career paths to see what you enjoy and if it’s a good fit for you.
