Student Employability Ambassadors

We are a student lead employability group to develop, enhance and promote employability events and initiatives for the geography department we liaise with all geography students, the employability officer and the careers service. Regular meetings are held to report on feedback and ideas, to schedule new employer/alumni talks, gather research on how to improve the employability service and make events such as the careers fairs more accessible to students through our various platforms of promotion. Below are short biographies from each ambassador.
