Events

GBS provides annual Online Volunteering and Placement Fairs which are open to all students. Students on courses that contain a mandatory work placement component are particularly encouraged to attend.

The aim of Volunteering and Placements Fairs is to facilitate direct communication between students and employers. They are an opportunity for employers to raise awareness of their brand, the work they do and the opportunities they have available; they are and opportunity for students to interact with employers one-to-one without having to go through the GBS Placements Team. All employers who attend these events have work opportunities available, and are targeting GBS students specifically. 

We regularly invite local and national employers to our campuses to provide sessions for our students. These come in many forms, from general introductory presentations about their company, industry, or business practices — to practical sessions in which employers teach students key skills from how to applying for a job in the industry to how to navigate interviews or assessment centres, and how to deliver elevator pitches.

All GBS students are invited to attend one of our regular careers support drop-in sessions. These sessions allow students to come and speak to the team in person, book appointments and raise any issues they have without needing to book an earlier appointment.

To book a place at any GBS event, you must confirm your attendance through the Careers and Placement Hub. The platform contains an ‘Events’ section where you can view every upcoming event across all campuses. Simply select the event of your choice and follow the instructions to book your place.
