Whether you’re in your first year, wrapping up your final term, or freshly graduated, figuring out your career path can feel overwhelming. But guess what? The best way to discover how to turn your passions into a career is by getting hands-on experience! 

Why not kickstart your career journey at the Creative Opportunities Unlocked: Careers Fair on 23 October 2024 at Central Saint Martins? This is your chance to take your career to the next level! 

Hosted by UAL’s Careers and Employability team, this event is the place to meet exciting employers, get personalized feedback on your CV and portfolio, and learn all about how companies recruit and what they look for. You’ll also hear about awesome opportunities that can support your career goals. Book your tickets here before they’re gone! 

And while you’re at it, don’t forget about the Creative Opportunities Jobs Board – the ultimate hub for UAL students and grads in art, design, communications, and performance. By signing up, you’ll get access to thousands of jobs, internships, competitions, and volunteering opportunities. 

Looking for a job that fits around your studies or a more permanent role? You’ve got options! From freelance and part-time gigs to internships and temp jobs, there’s something for everyone. Most of the roles are aimed at entry-level applicants – perfect for students and recent grads. But if you’ve got a bit more experience, we’ve got some mid-level roles just for you, too! 

Many of the roles relate directly to UAL courses, but we also know that sometimes you need a flexible job while studying. That’s why we also list temp and part-time roles in areas like retail, hospitality, admin, and more. These roles are great for earning some extra cash while you focus on your studies. 

Companies advertising on Creative Opportunities range from big-name brands to exciting startups across industries like design, PR, marketing, visual arts, and more. There’s something for everyone – whether you’re into business, consulting, management, or the creative arts. 

Need more help to land your first job? No problem! You can access one-to-one careers support while you’re a student and for up to two years after graduation. Our advisors are ready to chat about your career goals, help you with applications, and prep you for interviews. Get started today!
