We are pleased to invite you to an alumni event and networking evening in Shanghai on Saturday 27 January 2024 at the Conrad Shanghai from 6.30pm onwards.

How can you take charge of your career and employability in a competitive labour market? How can you best develop your career path? Do you need to upskill and reskill?

Join our expert alumni panel to discuss career recruitment processes and opportunities, top tips for success and insight into the current job market. This session will be facilitated by Leeds University Business School Director of Student Opportunity, Experience and Success, Associate Professor Tao Jiang.

This event will provide you with a valuable opportunity for Leeds University Business School alumni to hear from fellow graduates on how they have negotiated the next step in their careers, as well as to ask questions and pick up some tips.

The alumni panel will be followed by networking and refreshments, where you will have the opportunity to reconnect with fellow alumni in a relaxed environment.
