We want you to feel professional so please note the dress code: smart/business wear preferred!
Here’s a sample of the topics which international bootcampers will all take part in:
Opportunity for feedback in both small groups as well as individual support to reflect and write a useful career action plan.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Suitable ONLY for 2014-15 Final year ‘International’ students who DO clearly know what kind of sector/industry or job/role they are looking for – due to the types of vacancies this workshop will focus you towards.
For students who are unclear as to what career path to follow we suggest instead that you book a 1:1 Careers Guidance appointment via the Careers and Employability Centre (Tel 0114 225 3752).
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Would you like some visa advice?
If yes, then book a place on our Working in the UK after studies workshop.
We will look at all the possible visa routes for international graduates into full time work including:
• Tier 2 Scheme
• Tier 1 graduate entrepreneur
• Tier 5
The workshop will also focus on how to improve your employability and how you can make the most out of your time at Sheffield Hallam University. We will explain the visa rules and how to maximise your chances of success.
The next workshops will take place in the Careers and Employability Centre (unless otherwise stated):
If you do not book a one-to-one appointment to see an immigration adviser at least 2 weeks before your visa is due to expire, then we may not be able to assist you with your application and you will have to send your documents off yourself.
You must attend a group session before you can book a one-to-one appointment.
It is important that you attend a group session at least 2 months before your visa is due to expire. You will be unable to get a CAS application form if you have not attended a group session.
The next group sessions will be taking place as follows:
June
July
Please come to the Student Services Centre, Level 5 Owen or Heart of the Campus to book on to a group session.
This week is Carers Week, an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK.
