The Realities of Working and Job Hunting in the Non-Profit Sector

The non-profit sector is facing unprecedented challenges. In this session, a panel of professionals and UCL graduates, working in the sector, will discuss their career paths, the current landscape in their organisation, as well as having an honest conversation about the realities of working and job hunting in the non-profit sector, including how the sector has changed and adapted. Our speakers will share their ideas on what this means for students and graduates looking to enter the sector and share their journey and advice with you.

After we have heard from each panellist, you will have the opportunity to ask your questions and network with them informally, if you wish to.
