We look forward to meeting you all and introducing you to the "Careers Hub" and we especially look forward to talking about how we can support you in your career endeavours.

Career planning for new graduates has always been challenging but the challenges facing the class of 2020 increased substantially with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate, which stood at 4.8% in January, has increased to 15.0% in September 2020, although the true rate is probably being masked by governmental supports to workers.
