About the Careers Interest Networks
Each network will be self-led, supported by an expert in the network area and a research staff careers advisor as the group explores their sector of interest. The networks will meet regularly, at least once per term to share their learning, coordinate activities and participate in network events. In the inaugural meeting the groups might consider some or all the following:
- What do we want our network to look like or achieve?
- What do we know already about the sector and what do we want to know?
- What are our initial ideas?
- How do we want to structure the group going forward?
- What might be our immediate next steps?
