The Future of Career and Employability Workshops

Career services teams across higher education are facing a challenge: students are skeptical, overwhelmed, and harder to engage than ever. Workshops that once drew a crowd can now struggle to hold attention. So how do we adapt?

That’s the question we’ll be tackling in our next CareerOS webinar, The Future of Career and Employability Workshops, happening on 24th September at 4–5pm CEST / 3pm UK time.

We’ll be joined by Marc Steward, Careers Consultant at the University of Leeds, who brings nearly 30 years of experience and has delivered over 1,000 career sessions across schools, FE, and universities.

Marc has seen every kind of student scenario—from the quiet “I have no idea what I want to do” conversations, to MBA cohorts preparing for competitive job markets. And through it all, he’s learned one powerful truth: when workshops are human, humorous, and confidence-building, they actually connect.

In this session, Marc will share:

• How to design sessions that resonate with even the least motivated students
• Practical ways to weave humor, empathy, and storytelling into career education
• Techniques for helping students build self-awareness and confidence
• Insights on keeping workshops relevant in a post-pandemic, AI-aware, attention-scarce world

Whether you’re a careers advisor, employability educator, or skills development lead, you’ll walk away with fresh energy and new ideas to reimagine your programming.
