We’re proud of you for your OU study achievements, and we hope you are too. But employers also value you. Research (July 2023) shows the top five words employers use to describe OU students are ‘self-starters’, ‘diverse’, ‘determined’, ‘adaptable’, and ‘work-ready’. You are no exception.
We'll be adding more sessions and details as they become available, so save the date or book onto individual CareersFest sessions using the links below:
