From charity fundraising, to international aid work and human rights, there are lots of options for those who want to work in the third sector.
If you’re a student who wants to change the world and make a difference, a career in the third sector could be for you. But graduate jobs can be competitive and students need to demonstrate the right qualities to get on the career ladder.
With this in mind, our panel of carefully selected experts will be on hand to answer your questions.
Our Q&A will cover:
- Options for those interested in a career in the third sector
- What employers look for in a graduate
- How students can build the skills needed for these roles
- Where to look for graduate jobs in the third sector
- How to sell yourself to third sector employers
Join us on Wednesday 25 March between 1-3pm to discuss how to build the skills needed for a career in the third sector.
