About the event
About the event
As one of four strategic imperatives, prioritising graduate employability within our courses and wider student experience remains a priority for Portsmouth, as well as for the wider sector. To help us meet this imperative, the Careers and Employability Service in collaboration with Academic Development are organising an in-person Employability Conference on the afternoon of Thursday 12th September 2024. The event is open to all University of Portsmouth staff, where we particularly welcome Course Leaders, Heads of Schools, Students’ Union colleagues, and any roles that support student learning such as Student Services, Learning Developers and Student Engagement Officers.
