Employer engagement is a key component of our employability strategy for our students and graduates at St Mary’s. We are keen and seek to work with a wide range of businesses and organisations across sectors including: Business, Charity, Education, and Sport.
Each academic year, the employability services team organises employer events for organisations to meet with students on campus and online. Below is a planned timetable of events for the 2023/24 academic year.
Part-Time Jobs and Volunteering Fair
This is an excellent opportunity for students to meet employers local to St Mary's, who are actively seeking St Mary's students to fill their part-time job or volunteering vacancies.
The Part-time Jobs and Volunteering Fair welcomes any organisation with part-time and/or volunteering vacancies (especially from industries such as business, sport, charity, and education).
The next Part-time Jobs and Volunteering Fair takes place on Tuesday 7th October 2025.
Law Fair
The Law Fair is our annual networking and panel event for students who are interested in a career in Law. Combining both a Q&A panel session and careers fair, the Law Fair is an opportunity for students to discuss potential job opportunities with a panel of experts and guest speakers, as well as build their professional network. The event is open to all organisations within the Law sector.
This event will take place on Tuesday 4th November 2025.
Teaching Fair
The Teaching Fair is an annual event that seeks to provide students on Education and Liberal Arts related courses an opportunity to discuss potential job opportunities with organisations, charities, schools, and educational trusts. It also offers students the chance to get advice and ask questions about working within their chosen profession, as well as build their professional network. The event is open to all organisations within the education, humanities and arts sectors.
This event will take place in January 2025 (exact date TBC).
Sport and Health Science Fair
This event forms part of the FSTHS Employability Week, which usually takes place in late February.
