The ultimate goal when obtaining any third level qualification has to be improving employability and career prospects. DBS has a dedicated career and appointments service office that is open and available to both full and part-time students at the college.

The Trendance Graduate barometer is an independent survey conducted annually by Trendance, part of the GTI group. The survey looks at graduates' preferences and priorities when selecting a first employer after graduation and examines their strategies when looking for information about potential employers. In the most recent survey, the DBS careers and appointment service scored above the national average for careers services in 12 out of 15 categories. This illustrates the dedication and commitment of the college staff in aiding our students to obtain meaningful employment.

The careers and appointments office offers the following services to our students and graduates:

•Workshops on employability skills, preparing CVs, cover letters and interview preparation skills

•One to one appointments with careers advisor

•Presentations from employers
