As part of the DBS commitment to providing industry specific careers advice to international students, this academic year sees the DBS Career Development team run a series of sector-specific Employability Weeks.

DBS Careers Advisor, Danielle Kerins recently delivered a seminar on ‘Social Media and Your Career: A Guide to Strengthening Your Digital Footprint in the Social Sciences and Psychology Career Sector.’ This included advice on using LinkedIn, Blogs, Facebook and Twitter to make a career transition.

"The DBS Career Development team work closely with employers, charitable organisations and professional bodies to promote and help students gain practical experience related to their chosen career pathway. We source volunteering and potential work experience opportunities for students on a daily basis and actively promote jobs via the campus vacancies board, the online vacancies site and the DBS Careers Service Facebook and Twitter feed".


DBS Careers also maintain a Careers and Student Service Moodle page so that learners can avail of 24 hour access to relevant careers resources. Many learners find this very useful in terms of transitioning into their new career sector, as it allows them to stay abreast of relevant careers news and information during their own time in between managing their private life, class time and workload.
