Student Employment Week
Student Employment Week 2026 showcases the range of employability resources available to all students here at Exeter, and provides an opportunity to meet with organisations offering a variety of opportunities for students at our Part-Time Jobs & Volunteering Fair.
On Tuesday 6 October, as part of Student Employment Week, we will be hosting the Part-Time Jobs & Volunteering Fair in the Forum Street.
This fair welcomes companies from a range of sectors, offering opportunities such as casual, part-time and summer work, internships available during term time and vacation periods, as well as volunteering opportunities designed to enhance your undergraduate-level skillset.
It provides the ideal opportunity to meet and speak informally with organisations about the opportunities available to you.
Student Employment Week provides a great opportunity to come along and chat face to face with the Student Employment Team, as well as lots of our colleagues in the wider Career Zone Team, about the fantastic array of employability schemes and programmes that you can tap into.
