Employer Engagement and Communications

We bring employers onto campus to help you find jobs, refine your career choices and improve your chances of application success, through our varied programme of fairs, alumni panels, employer presentations, skills sessions and one-to-ones. The team promote a wide range of careers opportunities and events to all students and recent graduates, and our Careers Portal advertises 1400+ graduate jobs, placements and part-time roles.

We also run the Help Desk in the Enterprise & Careers Hub, providing information on job-hunting and careers resources and taking bookings for appointments. We oversee all the communications that you receive from the central Careers Service, including social media, newsletters, webpages, digital screens and posters around campus. You can get in touch with the team by emailing employers@royalholloway.ac.uk.

Volunteering

We support students to pursue excellent opportunities in the local community. Many of these students have graduated and become leaders in the third sector, as well as other industries. We work across multiple departments to ensure that as many students as possible get the chance to increase their skills, meet new people and make a difference through community engagement. The Volunteering Hub is open termtime Monday to Friday 10am-4pm, and students can register as volunteers and explore opportunities on our Volunteering Platform at: volunteering.royalholloway.ac.uk
