Students are prompted to come and take a couple of tea bags and collect information about wellbeing support and resources at the university. 

 Career Wellbeing – online resource 

Thinking about your career, applying for jobs, and being at work can be exciting and rewarding, but sometimes these activities can present challenges and might be a source of stress or anxiety. This online resource explores some of the things that might cause you concern and provides helpful insight and advice, alongside ideas and inspiration to support your career wellbeing. 

 There are three sections within the resource that focus on different career activities: 

• Section 1 – looking after your wellbeing when exploring career options 

• Section 2 – looking after your wellbeing when applying for jobs and taking part in recruitment activities 

• Section 3 – looking after your wellbeing at work (including part-time work, internships, placements or volunteering) 

Dip in wherever you please and use the resources that are relevant to your needs, or work through the content as a Nottingham Advantage Award module.

Go to Moodle to access the online resource
