Last week at Docklands Campus, our students joined John Vardakis, UEL Partnership Manager, for an insightful Market Intelligence Insights session.

The talk brought the employer perspective straight into the room, reminding students that career paths are rarely linear and that learning how to showcase your unique skills is key to long-term growth. From navigating rapidly changing industries to using AI to boost employability, our postgraduate and MBA students left with practical tools, clearer direction, and greater confidence as they prepare to step into their respective fields.
