We were delighted to welcome over 60 young people across the Careers on Conversation series, with sessions being rated 7.4/10 by attendees on how useful they were.
“I learnt the importance of being resilient and that we learn more from our failures than our successes.”
“I’ve come to understand that it’s okay not knowing what you want to do later on in your life. As well as the importance of keeping working hard on things and practising self-refection.”
“I enjoyed how upfront and authentic the conversation weas. And how I wasn’t given a bunch of generic advise that I’ve heard before.”
