It’s National Careers Week 2021, and the School of Education blog is highlighting opportunities for our students to get involved and enhance their career prospects in a variety of different ways.

- Passionate about your field
- You have a growth mindset
- That you use your spare time proactively
- You have developed networks and connections outside of your place of study
- You have cultivated more than just role-related skills
