Welcome to the 2021 NBS Online Employability Skills Series!
Welcome to the new spring Employability Skills Series - which compliments Employability Week. The series will be taking place each Wednesday in March 2021. It will be online and you will be sent Blackboard session details when you complete your bookings - do not share Blackboard session links with anyone.
The sessions have been scheduled to fit around teaching time.
This site will give you access to all the online events and information.
Exclusive to Business School MSc and degree students; this week is built on opportunities to develop your employability skills, it opens up a world of new career advancement options. Do take notes, ask questions and get the most of this one-time opportunity to meet with high-level experts and employers all in one week and all focused directly on the disciplines and talents of NBS students!
We do not expect you to attend everything, but we do expect NBS undergraduates to attend at least SIX OF THE TWELVE sessions over the week. NBS MSc students are also encouraged to attend sessions.
At the end of each session there will be a chance to ask further questions - using the chat function - and network with speakers.
Do remember to be prompt for each session - your prompt attendance will be recorded - do ask questions - you are ambassadors of NBS and you may be talking to your next employer!
