Employability Week is your chance to explore career possibilities and to start thinking about your plans once you graduate. Across the week the Law School and the Careers and Employability Services are bringing together a fantastic programme of speakers from different sectors and job roles to talk about their career journeys, their OU studies and how they have navigated the world of work.
Whether you are just beginning to consider your options, or already have a clear goal, these sessions aim to help you:
- Gain insight into graduate employment across a variety of legal careers
- Understand how to navigate between different roles and pathways
- Understand what law firms look for in candidates and how you can build this in alongside your study
- Hear from people who have been where you are now, and benefit from their experience
Each webinar will be hosted by academics from the Law School or a member of the Careers and Employability team. There will be a chance to ask questions so come along and find out more.
