Looking for some help or inspiration on what to do after IDS? 
During Skills Week at IDS join some recently graduated IDS Alumni who are willing to share personal advice and guidance on careers post-IDS.

We invite all IDS Students to join us during one of the two sessions during professional skills week to talk to alumni about their experience of life after IDS.

Alumni are not expert career advisers and will be responding to your questions based on their personal experience. Student facilitators will lead the sessions through a Question and Answer format. In order to get the best from the sessions do consider your questions carefully in advance.

Remember to add your details to the sign-up sheet, which is where you will also find the zoom links.
