Three BIG events to kickstart our students’ careers

Vita Students, your career starts here! This year we bossed national careers week, bringing our students exclusive career guidance from industry experts, with three BIG events covering CV tips, interview insights, industry expertise, start-up inspiration and more.

We kicked off the week in Sheffield, where Career Frog delivered an exclusive Vita Student workshop. They offered job-hunting and career-path advice, visa information, industry insights and one-on-one CV polishing with their expert coaches.

Bags with the text "KEEP CALM AND COACH UP FUTURE" are neatly stacked on a table, featuring silhouettes of buildings above the words. In the backdrop, a brick wall adds character to the setting—a perfect scene for Careers Week 2019 celebrations at Vita Student.

In a cozy office space, during Careers Week 2019, a group gathers around a table. One person eagerly shares something on their smartphone with another. The inviting setting features a brick wall with partial lettering and casually scattered chairs, reflecting the vibrant energy of Vita Student life.

Three people sit at a table with laptops in a bright Vita Student classroom. They're focused on a speaker at the front, presenting as part of Careers Week 2019. In the background, an informative presentation lights up the screen.

Next stop, Edinburgh! Our second event welcomed Harvey Nichols, who showed our students the basics in dressing to impress for interviews, before speaking to our students about a career in fashion, retail, hospitality and marketing.

We then heard from the CEO of top consulting firm Praesto Consulting, who offered exclusive insight into exactly what CEO’s look for in graduate talent. After a talk packed with job application and career advice from a senior industry professional, our students had the opportunity to introduce themselves and discuss their career aspirations in a one-on-one setting.

During Careers Week 2019, a smartphone live-streams a presentation in a dimly lit room. The screen shows a speaker in front of a projected slide, with an audience seated and three people standing at the front—an insightful session at Vita Student.

During Careers Week, a woman in a green blazer delivers a presentation at Vita Student. Standing beside a clothing rack filled with garments, she gestures animatedly. Two attendees sit, engaged, in the modern room adorned with plants and a screen providing the perfect backdrop.

Finally, we headed to Manchester for an inspiring evening with the co-founders of one of the UK’s leading tea specialists, TeaLab. They shared their start-up story and answered our students’ questions about what it REALLY takes to be a successful entrepreneur. After the talk, the TeaLab team held an exclusive taste & learn experience, revealing the secret science behind what makes TeaLab teas so special.

A marble table during Careers Week showcases small black jars labeled with scented teas like "Dream Catcher" and "Cloud 9." Nearby, three black stirring spoons complement the white cups, while a metal coffee dripper waits in the background at Vita Student.

Three people are seated in front of a screen displaying text and graphics during Careers Week at Vita Student. The setting appears to be a modern indoor space with a wooden shelving unit. A laptop sits open beneath the screen, and decorative items are visible on the shelves.

During Careers Week 2019, a panel of three people sits on stools in front of an audience in a dimly lit room. A camera on a tripod records the event, capturing every moment. Behind the panelists, a screen and shelves add to the setting’s professional ambiance.

Stay tuned, we have SO much more to come…
