Workshops
Workshops are a great addition to other engagement on campus These work well when tied in with drop-in sessions to boost the number of interactions you have on campus
Workshops can be used to either provide students with a detailed overview of your company and importantly the opportunities that are available Workshops can also be skills based If candidates seem to be less successful at certain points of your recruitment or assessment process why not use a workshop to support students in building specific skills and experience to enhance their chances at those stages
Whatrsquos providedA suitable room with computer and projection will be provided
What shall I bring on the dayYou may want to hand out literature on the opportunities you have or other merchandise to promote your brand

Please make sure any text you would like us to promote in the build up to the event is sent across at least one week before the date of the event
Top tips bull Workshops are not always the most flexible option for students given their busy
schedules So we always recommend running a drop-in session which is the most flexible option for students to be run on the same day at the workshop This increases the chance of positive interactions

Workshops
Workshops are a great addition to other engagement on campus These work well when tied in with drop-in sessions to boost the number of interactions you have on campus
Workshops can be used to either provide students with a detailed overview of your company and importantly the opportunities that are available Workshops can also be skills based If candidates seem to be less successful at certain points of your recruitment or assessment process why not use a workshop to support students in building specific skills and experience to enhance their chances at those stages
Whatrsquos providedA suitable room with computer and projection will be provided
What shall I bring on the dayYou may want to hand out literature on the opportunities you have or other merchandise to promote your brand

Please make sure any text you would like us to promote in the build up to the event is sent across at least one week before the date of the event

schedules So we always recommend running a drop-in session which is the most flexible option for students to be run on the same day at the workshop This increases the chance of positive interactions

Workshops
Workshops are a great addition to other engagement on campus These work well when tied in with drop-in sessions to boost the number of interactions you have on campus
Workshops can be used to either provide students with a detailed overview of your company and importantly the opportunities that are available Workshops can also be skills based If candidates seem to be less successful at certain points of your recruitment or assessment process why not use a workshop to support students in building specific skills and experience to enhance their chances at those stages
Whatrsquos providedA suitable room with computer and projection will be provided

schedules So we always recommend running a drop-in session which is the most flexible option for students to be run on the same day at the workshop This increases the chance of positive interactions

Workshops can be used to either provide students with a detailed overview of your company and importantly the opportunities that are available Workshops can also be skills based If candidates seem to be less successful at certain points of your recruitment or assessment process why not use a workshop to support students in building specific skills and experience to enhance their chances at those stages
