Employability Week - How Careers Guidance Can Help You

Where are you now?
I'm still trying to experiment and build a portfolio.

What kind of help do you need to move you on?
  • Applying for internships and getting them - often rejected.
  • Meeting people who are professionally doing what I want to be doing.
  • Meeting graphic design alumni/past students to relate to their process.
