Portfolio working is becoming more common for various reasons. This ‘conversation’ around juggling different roles within an academic career that incorporates related activities will be an informal group discussion. It will be facilitated by a careers adviser with guest contributors who will share their experiences with you. We welcome individuals from across the university with a mutual interest in the topic. The careers adviser present is an experienced group facilitator, who’ll support the discussion with advice, strategies and resources, as well as offering suggestions for topics of discussion.

Meeting people is a really useful way to learn more about your mutual goals: it’s the equivalent of attending a tutorial or class discussion, and often attendees choose to keep in touch with fellow participants for further mutual support.

All welcome. Feel free to bring your lunch.
