Employer Relations, Outreach and Careers Group

The Employer Relations, Outreach and Careers Group was established in 2008 with the aim to improve coordination of all careers and employment related activities for students in Real Estate & Planning (REP).

The group consists of key academics and representatives from REP, RREF and the Student Employment, Experience and Careers Centre (SEECC). It is chaired by Head of School of Real Estate & Planning and meets with the intention of supporting and driving forward career development and employability activities, and continuing to develop new and improved links to the industry.

The group aims to be both proactive and reactive to developments internally and within the industry and be effective at delivering high quality graduates to the best employers in the UK and internationally.
