CIOB North East engage with students at Careers Fair
The school of The Built Environment, within Northumbria University held a Careers Fair on Wednesday 11th November 2009.
In addition to regional and national employers, exhibition and information stand opportunities were also provided for Professional Bodies.
Those in attendance included RICS, CIBSE, RIBA and CIOB. The Chartered Institute of Building North East was represented by Jane Knox, Branch Manager and Diane Thorpe, Centre Administrator.
This was an excellent forum and invaluable opportunity to engage with students and promote the benefits of CIOB student membership, progression routes, target potential members and encourage attendance at regional CPD and networking events.
The purpose of the fair was to stimulate opportunities and create an environment where students could link with potential employers and employee representatives of the professional bodies, the collaborative approach was evident and the clarity of message was clearly achieved.
