Careers Weeks and Fairs

Our Careers Weeks host a curated calendar of targeted recruitment activity during our academic year. They offer plenty of opportunities to promote your company to a diverse range of exceptional students, across a mix of in-person and virtual events. Benefits include:

  • Raising awareness of your organisation
  • Sharing valuable hints and tips for your application processes, allowing you to recruit talented students more easily
  • Engaging in informal conversations with students to build relationships early
  • Helping students gain a clearer understanding of your company culture and industry
  • Sharing details of any vacancies, graduate positions, placements or internships you may be recruiting to

 

Disclaimer

Durham University (Careers and Enterprise Service)  is committed to providing an impartial and inclusive service that supports all students to explore their career or entrepreneurial ambitions. On occasion, there may be businesses, industries and employers in attendance at an organised activity, event or fair with whom some of the university community might choose to demonstrate their disagreement.  We fully respect the right of students to express their views peacefully, and the University will take appropriate steps to manage any associated risks appropriately and proportionately. 

Where appropriate, participating organisations will be asked to provide a risk assessment and ensure their representatives are suitably briefed and prepared for engagement with our diverse student community.
