A different approach
The University of Liverpool is an innovative institution, which is why it decided to modernise its services to improve your career prospects. The building was fully refurbished and the equipment replaced with brand-new technology.
Plus, the staffing and organisation of the Career Studio was radically overhauled. Now, the service is fully student-led and student-focused!
Firstly, the University trained 16 students to become Career Coaches, who are qualified to help you fill out applications and advise on interesting upcoming opportunities.
Secondly, they made sure to hire staff that reflect the University’s diverse student community of 145 nationalities, and introduced a new flexible approach to appointments. Because of this new approach, you don’t need to book in advance — you can drop in any time!
Thirdly, the new CareerConnect initiative is a programme of special events and masterclasses where you can meet employers. You can learn vital insider tips, and even build up a useful network of contacts. CareerConnect has already organised 80 events for the coming year, with help from famous organisations like IBM and the Bank of England.
