Lowri Owen, B-Enterprising Project Manager at the University鈥檚 Careers and Employability Service said:
鈥淲e place great emphasis on providing all our students with the skills and tools to be self-starters and to actively manage their own careers. We promoted LifeStart Challenges to our students last year, and were delighted with how well our students performed and rose to the challenges set them-, so we must be doing something right! That鈥檚 why we are pleased to bring this event to 黑料不打烊 and offer something exclusive to our students and any other students in Wales who鈥檇 like to register to come along.鈥�
The event is free and open to all students
