Find Your Feet – Student and Graduate Opportunities Fair 22nd February, 11-3, Engine Shed.
The Careers & Employability and Postgraduate teams are collaborating to help all students and graduates ‘find their feet’ after university. On Wednesday 22nd February, from 11am until 3pm, a host of student and graduate opportunities will be available in the Engine Shed. We have a host of external organisations, and university departments visiting the campus to promote graduate careers, student placements, postgraduate study, gap year and self employment.
The event promises to be invaluable in promoting the range of opportunities there are for students and graduates alike, and has already attracted many high profile organisations – such as Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Matalan, Enterprise- Rent- A-Car, Coca-Cola, Lincolnshire Co-Op, Siemens.
In addition some of the organisations will be delivering presentations about their opportunities throughout the day. There will also be a CV Clinic for students to drop in with their queries, and speak to one of our Careers Advisers.
The event is on Monday, 20th February, 6-8pm in BL 1101, Main Lecture theatre and food and networking in the B&L atrium area. It is an opportunity for current students to meet with graduates that have made a start in their careers and are coming back to the Business School to offer their views on how they got to where they are and what they wish they knew/did when they were still here. Students who want to attend need to email “I’m In!” to alumni@lincoln.ac.uk
Alumni attending include: Roanna Fox and Stacey Mainwaring from Brayford Hotel, Jake Esberger, Lincolnshire Police, Roxeanne Parker, Tata Steel, Georgina Garrett, Age UK; Matt Stephenson, Siemens and Sammie Welburn, Lindum Group.
There is a similar event also arranged for the Law School on Wednesday, 21st March.

We are pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the Mountbatten Institute’s August 2012 Intake to New York.
The Mountbatten experience really can have a dramatic impact on a young person’s professional career. This year’s report from the Association of Graduate Recruiters stressed the importance of international awareness and suggested that ‘immersion in a different culture can catapult a graduate into being considered for rewarding roles”.
Mountbatten interns are living proof of this: nearly 20% of interns go on to work with their sponsor companies when they return to their home country and those that don’t are in high demand from recruitment agencies and employers. Following 12 months in the world’s economic capital, Mountbatten interns are armed with transferable soft skills, cross-cultural awareness, confidence, ambition and professional maturity. The experience serves as a solid investment in any graduate’s career and long-term prospects. The academic course has now been enhanced which runs alongside the work placement and in March a new curriculum will launch which includes modules in Managerial Accounting and Finance and Organisational Behaviour and Leadership. This postgraduate qualification offers tangible evidence of a successful year working and studying abroad.
We encourage any recent graduate or finalist student interested in international business to consider their prestigious cultural exchange programme. They are not only looking for business graduates – they recruited candidates from over 80 different universities last year and nearly 50% were graduates of arts, humanities and science and legal courses. The graduate market is so competitive today that professional experiences that make you stand out from the crowd are essential. We are confident that a year in New York is the ideal way to achieve this.
The deadline for August 2012 applications is March 15th. Full eligibility requirements can be found online:

The new course at Up To Speed started yesterday and they are now focussing on their next course which starts at the end of September. Up To Speed offers six month NCTJ accredited journalism courses in News/Sport/Magazine or Photo Journalism. The courses are based at their own premises in the Daily Echo, in the centre of Bournemouth and the courses are run by extremely experienced staff, most of whom have also worked part-time on the journalism courses at Bournemouth University teaching Law, politics, journalism and shorthand. Sports Journalism is taught by Rick Broadbent, Athletics Correspondent from the Times.
The course costs £4,000 which includes VAT and exam fees.
If you think that Journalism is for you, the NCTJ accredited course is extremely highly regarded in the industry, and a fraction of the cost of taking an MA course!
Further details can be found on their website - www.uptospeedjournalism.co.uk
Up To Speed are planning on holding an Interview Day on Wednesday February 15th for any potential students interested in starting in September 2012. Please take a look at the website for an application form.
