Purpose of placement:

To lead development of Student Hubs’ provision of Just Careers advice for students and graduates.

It’s time for a culture shift in graduate careers:

1) A socially-just career will no longer be ‘alternative’. Graduates will make sure their career, whatever it is, is socially just: a Just Career.

2) People will easily be able to access information to inform their decision to pursue a Just Career.

We believe that a Just Career:

• Is not a ‘sector’, it’s an aspiration.
• Is not necessarily an alternative to a lucrative career
• Is up to the individual – what does ‘just’ mean to you?

We will be the first generation for whom social and environmental considerations will be pervasive – whatever you do, you will engage with the world around you. Working with careers advisors, national organisations and students, you will begin the process of bringing this change about.
