On-campus events

Oxford Brookes Careers run a range of Careers Fairs which allows you to meet students, raise awareness about your organisation and highlight the opportunities you offer.

We host Employer Spotlight Sessions which allow you to book a stand in a key location on campus to promote your opportunities directly with students.

Spotlight Events

Every Tuesday and Thursday during Semester time, we will host an Employer Spotlight Session within the John Henry Brookes Building which is a very high footfall area. The aim is to give employers an opportunity to promote themselves and their vacancies whilst the students have the chance to learn more about the employers' organisation. We allow just one employer at a time to attend our Employer Spotlight Sessions and we promote it to students in advance. A bit like a careers fair for just one employer!

Whether you are a SME looking to recruit part time staff or a graduate employer looking for your future recruits - get in touch today by completing the short register your interest form.
