About Us

Employability Project Assistant (Placement Student)

Hi, I'm Zak! I'm a English Literature student, currently on my placement year with the Careers & Employability Service. 

My role includes involvement with a whole host of projects, from marketing (including the writing of this blog!) to supporting the running of the Ambition Internship Programme, running events for WP students and more.

As an Equal Opportunities student, I have first-hand experience with how support from the University can help propel people from disadvantaged backgrounds in the right direction and so hope to do just this for our Equal Opportunities Cohort 😁

Senior Administrator (Work Experience) 

Hi, I’m Orla! I’m the Senior Administrator for work experience in the Placements & Employability Programmes team within the Careers & Employability Service. 

My role involves coordinating the Ambition Internship Programme and the Equal Opportunities Fund. Our team is here to support you in your search for internships and activities to enhance your employability. 

We’ll keep you posted about when these opportunities go live, but in the meantime please get in touch with us via our email, or head over to the next drop-in session, if there’s anything you’d like to know more about!
