They can attend the photo booth, where they can get a professional headshot for their Social Media platforms. By joining the event, they will also be able to submit their CVs to partner employers and be first in line for future careers and networking events organised by the Graduate Guidance Group. Attendees of the event also benefit from networking with university representatives and other UK alumni who may have graduated in different years or from other institutions but with whom they have a shared UK experience.  Yusuff Kaffo, Senior International Recruitment Manager at the University of Wolverhampton (pictured above at the 2018 event), said “We believe strongly that our Nigerian graduates can excel anywhere they choose to pursue their careers, including here in Nigeria. That’s why I am excited to see this event happening once again after the COVID break and to give our alumni here the networks and tools to fulfil their potential.” This event is a unique opportunity for employers to engage with a pipeline of Nigerian talent who have acquired international experience through their UK education and experiences studying alongside students from all around the world and are looking to apply their skills and develop their career potential in Nigeria. The event will also welcome Chevening and Commonwealth alumni who have been sponsored for their studies in the UK through the British government scholarship programmes. Graduates of the participating UK Universities (see flyer) can register to attend here: bit.ly/ntuke For enquiries about future studies at the institutions involved, relevant contact points are listed below: Aston University                     b.ogundeji@aston.ac.ukUniversity of Birmingham      f.ojo@bham.ac.ukDundee University                  cabayomi001@dundee.ac.ukEdinburgh University              aly.stewart@ed.ac.ukLoughborough University       f.v.mutero@lboro.ac.ukUniversity of Glasgow             pamela.armstrong2@glasgow.ac.ukUniversity of Newcastle           halima.alawiye@newcastle.ac.ukUniversity of Nottingham         william.hollis@nottingham.ac.ukNottingham Trent University    africa@ntu.ac.ukUniversity of Portsmouth         chinelo.konwea@port.ac.ukUniversity of Southampton      nigeria@soton.ac.ukWolverhampton University      O.Daniel@wlv.ac.uk Any questions about the event can be addressed to careers@g3africa.com , reach out via instagram on @nigeriantalent.ukedu or contact 07063483498The post #NGTalentUKEducated2022: UK Careers, Alumni and Networking Event appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
