Life Beyond Wellington Networking Evening

6:30pm
The Other House, London

 

 

Are you an OW or parent who is established in their career and able to offer advice or work shadowing within your company? Or perhaps you are a young OW looking for support around careers? Either way, this event is for you! The Life Beyond Wellington Networking Evening is an event for all members of the Wellington Community, designed to support our young OWs as they navigate their way through university and/or the beginning of their career. We are looking for:

 

  • Young OWs who are currently at university, have recently graduated or are just starting out in their careers who want to engage and build connections with experienced members of the Wellington Community.
  • Parents and OWs who are established in their careers, working in a range of industries. If you feel you could offer advice, possible mentoring, work placements, or graduate roles within your company then we would love to hear from you! Please get in touch if you would be interested in bringing a member of your recruitment team, especially if your company offers work experience and/or graduate roles

 

Tickets are free of charge and include welcome drinks and canapés.
