UEA Recruitment and Opportunities Fair

University of East Anglia annual Recruitment and Opportunity Fair.

We believe interns are the future, but don’t just take our word for it…

Last year the UEA Internship Programme connected over 250 UEA students and graduates with businesses. Interns bring a fresh perspective to your organisation and contribute to business growth. Mark Donaldson, CEO of Cascade50 knows this only too well having taken on eight interns since 2011.

“Personally, I believe there are a number of benefits for both the company and the intern. Primarily, it is about providing opportunities to gain fantastic work experience, learn about how a business operates and gain an insight into the working world beyond university life. The business benefits from working with intelligent graduates who are keen to learn and who bring new skills to the existing team without any commitment beyond the internship.

The experience of working with the team at CareerCentral has always been an enjoyable one. A relaxed, yet constructive process which has helped identify several top candidates for Cascade50 over the years – adding real value to our product and innovation.”

Alongside our Internship Programme we also offer students yearlong work placements, often referred to as a ‘Year in Industry’. These last between 9-14 months and are a great opportunity for students to work on a project or review procedures, which may have been overlooked due to lack of time and resource. Get in touch today to find out more about out Placements and Internships.

Connect with thousands of students at our annual careers fair 

We are delighted to announce that exhibitor bookings for our annual Recruitment and Opportunities Fair are now open.

The Fair will be held on Thursday 17 October 2019, 12-4pm at the UEA Sportspark. Last year the event attracted over 3,500 students and received great feedback from students and exhibitors alike.

This is a brilliant opportunity to exhibit at one of the UK’s top 15 universities and access talent from across all year groups and schools of study. If you’re interested in attending the fair please register your interest via the below link.
