Workshop 1 is an in-person seminar workshop during which you’ll explore what you can do with your degree, the skills you’re developing and how your values and motivations may shape your future career decisions.  

Taking place on Teams you’ll be guided through a skills analysis, giving you practical examples of times you’ve demonstrated skills which you can share with employers, or opportunities develop these skills.  

During this in-person lecture-style session, the Career Zone will be joined by one of our Student Programme Assistants and an academic from your course who will share their insights with you, and help you build an action plan. 

The content of Create Your Future is supported by a dedicated ELE page, which you can revisit at any time during your studies.

We are committed to supporting all students to participate in Create Your Future, and have implemented a series of reasonable adjustments, which can be found on the Career Zone policies page,’ Career Zone approach to teaching and learning’.

Create Your Future for second years supports you in taking your next steps as you think about your career and life beyond university.

If you did attend last year, this isn't a repeat of what you've already learned. We will take a moment to reflect on the previous year, look at successes and achievements and consider the skills you've developed before starting to plan for your second year.
