Developing your career

Whatever stage of your career, Nottingham graduates are highly valued by a wide range of employers. Those who recruit from Nottingham are impressed by graduates’ academic abilities and their skills-base. Once you have left the University of Nottingham, you will need to build on this firm foundation. During your career you will need to:

• gain a wide range of experience ─ get involved in new initiatives or projects at work
• continue to develop your skills with your employer through training opportunities and, where appropriate, gain professional-level qualifications
• develop a network of contacts within the business or sector
• maintain your contacts from University and get involved in alumni activities
• keep your CV up-to-date
• look out for external opportunities that will enable you to develop and demonstrate new skills
