The engineering career lessons you won’t find in a lecture theatre
Join WES for our Engineering Careers Event on 17 November 2026.
The WES Engineering Careers Event is a free online event designed to give engineering students the practical careers advice they don't always get at university.
Throughout the day, students can:
Learn how recruiters really shortlist applications
Get practical CV and LinkedIn advice
Prepare for interviews and assessment centres
Learn how to network and find a mentor
Discover placements, internships and graduate opportunities
Hear what engineers wish they'd known as students
Find out more about professional registration and career progression
Meet employers and explore different engineering careers
Students can choose the sessions that are most relevant to them, take part in themed networking and explore our virtual exhibition. The exhibition and resources will also remain available for six months after the event.
Whether you're just starting university, looking for a placement or preparing for graduate recruitment, there's something for you.
