The Student Career Compass – Yorkshire Special: 16th October 2025
Over the past eight years, the Student Career Compass has grown into a national movement, connecting students from schools and universities with some of the UK’s most respected employers to help them make confident, informed career choices. This October marks a major milestone: for the first time, we’re taking the Student Career Compass event outside London, beginning with a special edition in Yorkshire, hosted in collaboration with Sheffield Hallam University and The University of Sheffield.
This event will bring together a diverse mix of tech and non-tech organisations, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), BBC, CBRE, Deloitte, Kier Group, Microsoft, NatWest Group, RSM UK and Thrive Social Capital. Students will gain valuable insights into:
- What it’s like to work at these organisations and their values
- Career trajectories and opportunities available
- The journeys of recent graduates and apprentices
- What recruiters look for in candidates and how to make a strong application
We’re also running a series of Skills Development sessions, including:
- What recruiters look for in a CV
- How to prepare for and succeed in interviews
- Live mock interviews on stage
- How to start your own business and become an entrepreneur
Students attending in person will benefit from market stalls hosted by each organisation, offering informal one-to-one conversations with employer representatives. For online participants, a special session on entrepreneurship and how to start your own business will run during the market stall break.
There are two ways to participate: in person at Sheffield Hallam’s Pennine Lecture Theatre, or online via Zoom. Please register below and indicate your preferred method of attendance.
