Want to discover what employers are looking for, explore the career pathways they offer and their application processes? Register for OU Online TalentConnect careers fair now and take your first steps.

Running from 09:00 on Tuesday 9 November to 18:00 on Wednesday 10 November, this event will give you the opportunity to speak directly with employers who are looking to recruit OU students and graduates. The OU’s careers team will also be there to help you navigate the fair and answer any questions you have about careers and the job market.

Over 70 inclusive employers, such as Thames Valley Police, Rolls Royce, Bank of England, WarnerMedia and Teach First want to meet you – whatever your study subjects, ambitions, and background. Participating employers value the skills and strengths you’ve gained from distance learning as well as your previous work and life experience. These include remote collaboration, digital and written communication skills and self-motivation.

You can try networking at the careers fair as much or as little as you feel confident with. Build your networking confidence in our pre-fair Networking for the Nervous live session on 4 November.

November’s OU Online TalentConnect also features three live employer panel events – make sure you book your place for these on OpportunityHub after you register for the main event:
