Each term we organise a range of events that give you the opportunity to meet employers and enhance your employability. Whatever course you're studying there's sure to be something for you.
If you are studying at one of our partner colleges please read our Statement of Service for Students & Recent Graduates for information on the support available to you.
Remember, you can follow Sunderland Futures on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and all of our events can also be found on the ‘AboutUS’ calendar on MySunderland.
