We are now taking bookings for the Cass Careers fair from employers, who are keen to engage with the pool of talented students who study with us. Cass is the largest supplier of Specialist Masters programmes in Europe, attracting students from across the globe. Our MSc Students have varying degrees of experience, suitable for both graduate entry-level roles and experienced hire positions. Both current students and the class of 2012 will be invited to the event.

Whether you are new to recruiting at City or have a strong history of hiring our students and graduates, many of them will be learning about your organisation for the very first time. However, there are a number of ways to make our students more aware of the opportunities your organisation has to offer and why they should consider you. The fairs we run are sector-specific to enable the largest attendance drawn from our diverse student assembly. The fairs are a useful and easy way to meet the students and advertise the opportunities within your organisation and what the requirements are for graduates to be successful applicants with you.

Designed to help you raise your profile with, and explain your opportunities to, final and penultimate year students.
