Henley Careers & Professional Development is here for you throughout your degree, so don’t leave it all to later, because later never comes.There are lots of new terms and concepts to learn whether you’re looking to gain some experience, find work for the summer, or are looking for an opportunity post-graduation. We can help and guide you through all of this via 1-2-1 appointments, workshops, events and online via the Henley Careers blackboard site.Many Finance students go on to Finance careers and we’ll gladly help them do so, but not all, so if you find yourself questioning your choices to date, don’t worry, we’ll help you through your through process, and then help you achieve your goals.
