Fast forward to the summer of 2019 and the team underwent a rebranding process, becoming The Careers and Enterprise Team \u2013 a change that brought a more obvious and modern feel to the service for both students, staff and others. This was seen in the launch of the renovated Careers and Enterprise Hub in Augustine House during October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since October, The Hub has been host to over 34 brand new workshops aimed at supporting students with developing their career skills. Over 126 students attended these workshops during 2019 with many more scheduled to run in 2020. The overall student feedback for this new service has been really positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
