Adapting to the New Graduate Market: SME Partnerships, Internships & the Future of Career Services

Date: Tuesday, 31st March
Time: 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM CEST / 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM UK/Irish Time
Location: Online

As the landscape of graduate recruitment shifts, the "tried and tested" formulas are being challenged. Economic pressures, the rise of AI, and a decline in some traditional large-scale graduate schemes mean that Career Services must rethink their strategy.

Join Albert, Head of Career Services, and Karl Webb, Business Engagement and Employability Manager at Queen’s Business School, for a practical and reflective webinar on navigating this transition.

Why Attend?
At Queen’s University Belfast, Karl and his team have moved beyond traditional employer engagement. They have successfully unlocked new opportunities by leaning into local ecosystems—focusing on SMEs, micro-businesses, and the voluntary sector. In this session, we’ll move past the theory and share what is actually working on the ground. We’ll explore how to build resilient partnerships that provide students with diverse, future-ready experiences.

Key Discussion Points:
🔹​
What Career Services are seeing today and how AI and hiring shifts are reshaping the market.

🔹​ Why small and medium-sized businesses matter more than ever for student career pathways.

🔹​ How Queen’s University Belfast developed and scaled internship opportunities in a challenging market.

🔹​ Rethinking employer engagement as long-term collaboration rather than just a job board posting.

🔹​Supporting students not just in "getting a job," but in finding purpose in an evolving future of work.
