Careers

Our Careers and Placements team is based on Campus West next to the Spring Lane Building and there is always someone to talk to during opening hours.

The team covers:

• Information, advice and support - from our professional team of accredited careers consultants and the wider support team

• Experience - including Placement Years, volunteering, community engaged learning and short term internships with our network of local employers

• Skills and development - including our award-winning York Strengths programme, York Leaders and York Award

• Events and networking - linking you up with future employers and showcasing the diverse graduate opportunities available

York Futures, our personal and professional development journey, helps you build a portfolio of skills and experience by outlining a timeline of activities we offer. Our unique York Strengths programme helps you understand both what you are good at and what you enjoy doing, so that you can focus on preparing for a career that suits you. You can apply for the York Award, the University’s certificate of personal and professional development, to demonstrate that you have taken a proactive approach to your time at university.

We also organise careers fairs and events, volunteering opportunities, internships and support for enterprise to ensure you progress with a competitive edge.
