On March 8th, the London School of Science and Technology hosted the National Careers Service, where Vicky Kalber, the Community Relationships Manager, delivered a presentation at the Elephant and Castle Campus. The purpose of the presentation was to share knowledge of National Careers Services and provide information to students regarding the services offered.
Vicky, alongside Academic Leads and Careers Hub, discussed how LSST students could benefit from the National Careers Service. According to Vicky, the National Careers Service offers excellent career information and advice on how to apply their skills in the workplace. Their team provides professional guidance to students and recent graduates, helping them create a career plan that will enable them to achieve their goals and be successful. The National Careers Service collaborates with Job Centers in the London area to identify open positions.
During the presentation, Vicky addressed Level 5 and 6 students, outlining the opportunities offered by the National Careers Service in selecting future career pathways, exploring and comparing different career options, and identifying key webpages where students can apply for jobs in the Business and Health industries upon graduation. Vicky also shared information on how students could access the National Careers Service.
The presentation concluded with a robust engagement from the students, with many asking Vicky interesting questions and taking notes throughout the session. Vicky and LSST are enthusiastic about working together to set up workshops with LSST students, assisting them with interviews, and CVs, creating career plans and placing graduates in the job market.
