Hosting a bespoke presentation or event for our students and recent graduates can raise awareness of your brand, showcase your organisational culture, and highlight career opportunities.
However, key factors should be considered before deciding if a presentation is the best format to achieve your goals.
We strongly recommend reading our Guide to Successful Presentations before booking. They will help you maximise the impact of your visit and improve your return on investment.
Our Employer Engagement Coordinators can advise you on the best ways to deliver a successful event to your target audience.
There is a limited number of spaces for employers to deliver an event. To maximise attendance we recommend that events are not held at the same time as our careers fairs where there is a clash of interest.
We do our utmost to prevent clashes with competitor organisations, however, we can not take responsibility for potential clashes of events taking place through Cambridge University student societies, departments or colleges. We can not guarantee attendance.
