This event, supported by Santander Universities UK, will welcome over 50 exhibitors on the day, all of whom are all hoping to employ or give volunteering opportunities to University of Plymouth students.

Are you a student looking to build your employability skills during the summer vacation? Then why not visit the 2019 Summer Opportunities Fair? 

Come along and meet local and national employers at the fair on Wednesday 20 March (11.00–15.00).
