Getting the message out loud and clear that the recruitment fairs are for everyone e.g. firms in the STEM and Life Sciences sectors have roles in comms and marketing, HR, finance, etc.

Great to have a marquee on central campus and a constant stream of students engaging with employers

# data[].attributes.body
Able to help loads of students prepare, know who is attending and how to speak to employers.

Ordering bottled water or a water tank, so that we don't have to manually fill up jugs throughout the day !

Thought the Fair leads worked well together and Welcome for Employers felt a lot smoother

Second session particularly brilliant - MMI style assessment activity.

Needed in autumn to meet buzz on campus

Particularly in October! Rooms can't be booked in advance because of timetabling. Sometimes room allocation somewhere obscure student can't find. Where is L17!?

Sourced & communicated with a variety of employers - Morgan Stanley, Capital One, Mazars, Headway, Civil Service Fast Track & Home Office to name a few

Law School engagement with variety of employers

Fantastic engagement within all 3 ICTs - rooms were full!

Saskia organised a very successful Charity, Health & Educ day.

Participated in the MI BLP sessions

Building out activities from the marquee to have other things located near by. For example to PwC cocktail bar and UoLaw coffee van. If employers do not come forward then we should organise Leicester led activities working in partnership with LSP.

Exploring PhDs (best attendance yet)

# data[].attributes.body
Think we should look at how the activities can span the whole month. The variety available during the Festival is great, but it feels a bit ‘flat’ after this.

# data[].attributes.body
Good to chat with employers as they were arriving. At least one that I spoke to was a Leicester graduate.

# data[].attributes.body
We helped promote through the schools and their drop-ins.

With the variety of different events on it was great to be able to signpost most students to a relevant event to their issue/question.

The Subject Sheets from the employer engagement team were really useful in signposting students both generally and in particular those who didn't know where to start and great to have to hand (RO)

# data[].attributes.body
Visited the Recruitment Fair and spoke to employers that students would find most useful. One example being ‘Teach First’ - This was a first shot at Employer Engagement! They were happy to come along to a drop in!!

# data[].attributes.body
When we were outside the student's didn't utilise it as much

# data[].attributes.body
Taught content for that week for all schools should be 'future plan' related and partnered with festival events

# data[].attributes.body
Potentially don't need 2 staff members to support this activity, which provides additional resource for other critical activities

It would be useful to have more information about the companies that were exhibiting at the fairs, their business and the types of opportunities on offer.

# data[].attributes.body
For everyone!

# data[].attributes.body
Perhaps not needed everyday if not much to signpost to

# data[].attributes.body
Employers really complementary about our students, but some students still need help with how they present/ conduct themselves with employers.

# data[].attributes.body
Let students have a copy of the employers that are coming to the event! A lot of students asked to be emailed this.

Make it clear where the festival line up link is located as a lot of students struggled to find it and book on! As well as research what was going on!

# data[].attributes.body
To review the format of 'Alumni: In Residence' bookable appointments, as these did not get much student engagement. We got great alumni involvement in the ICTs, so to review how we can get alumni engaged throughout the Festival week; in a way that engages our students

Scheduling key activities in partnership with schools

For example the STEM fair can be closely worked on with respective colleges and schools to maximise opportunity for students to attend.

could we ask lecturers to lead there group of students to the fairs or schedule talks linked with schools

An MC announcing events and playing music - 80s ofcourse!

# data[].attributes.body
A good way to pique students interest. Perhaps on a display board outside the marquee

Attendance for some of these sessions wasn't very high so can we work with AccessAbility to improve this?

# data[].attributes.body
Invoicing - process needs to be implemented much earlier and with the finance team

Should it be sector focused - to encourage increased engagement, especially with most employers being "degree agnostic" now

More use of social media assets from employers

More preparation for students (and colleagues) what companies do

Flag system on stands to indicate if they sponsor visas for int students

Some feedback from students - difficult to find info on sharepoint easily

Sustainability focus - more use of QR codes or an online App/flyer/booklet

Capitalise post FoC engagement/relationship in terms of their feedback (what are they doing with UoL students now if at all e.g Furnley House) but also setting up other events, whilst relationships still warm - what else can we do with them.

# data[].attributes.body
The marquee was booked for 5 days but only used for 3 days of recruitment fairs. What other activities could take place in this space - massive mock assessment centre, inspirational careers talks, networking events

Ask students for ideas and creative input. Is there an opportunity for students to gain experience (e.g. student crew).

We end the week/ Festival with a subsidised event for students that attended.

# data[].attributes.body
A number of issues with tech in rooms or pre-booked AV not arriving or mis - delivered, wifi issues in the marquee. Need to work with IT to understand how to improve

# data[].attributes.body
Need to consider how this works in practice as it was not very quiet unfortunately (good in terms of student engagement though!). This could be a great opportunity though for students with a disability if we can make this work.

# data[].attributes.body
More installations like PWC outside the marquee to draw students over and in!

Complete review of this? Who agreed it and how it was implemented - was it implemented? Timing with being at the start of the day.
