Career MOT

July's career webinar is a chance to look back on the previous year to explore and record achievements, experiences, impact and learning. As well as using it as an opportunity to consolidate your career learning portfolio, it's an opportunity to plan for the coming year. You will have a chance to gain some new career management skills and techniques, but the main activity will be working with peers to formulate and articulate your career story for the year and hopes for the future through discussion.
