POLIS career-planning module

POLIS currently supports its students by running, in conjunction with the Careers Centre, a career-planning elective module for those wanting to find out more about how to make successful applications, improve their interview techniques and how to pass assessment centres.

This elective includes networking with employers who visit the University and presenting to local and national employers, such as Leeds City Council and the Civil Service Fast Stream, in a Skills Challenge. 

To help with the module's administration and the prize money for the group that wins the Skills Challenge, PwC have kindly sponsored this elective to help POLIS students meet the challenges of an increasingly competitive graduate marketplace.
