There are some exciting changes taking place in the Careers and Enterprise service. It is being reshaped into the Student Enterprise & Employability Service (SEE) and will be launched in November 2011.

Working closely with colleagues in the individual Colleges, the SEE team aims to equip students and graduates with the skills to develop their practice, products, knowledge and intellectual capital through tailored advice and support.

The new service will bring together the work of Creative Careers, the Enterprise Centre for the Creative Arts (ECCA), Artquest, Own-it and ArtsTemps, and will be coordinated to focus more closely on the specific needs of University of the Arts London students and emerging graduates. During this transition period, we aim to maintain a good level of support.
