Who
Creative agencies in the north are increasingly the employers of choice for our graduates. Building on the success of the inaugural event in June last year, this is the second event planned to allow agencies to meet and ‘cherry pick’ the best graduates from our institutions.
The first year was hosted by the University of Salford. The second event in 2011 will be hosted by Salford University, held in Manchester." In addition it is planned that each University will hold satellite events in their hometowns. Watch out for details on the website!
This event will include
- An exhibition of the best graduate talent from universities in the north.
- Portfolio surgeries for students
- Keynote lectures from the cream of the creative industries
- Roundtable discussions to develop greater collaboration between industry and academia
- Q & A session with panel from industry professionals, academics and students
