Join us for the second ‘How to…’ event of the 2026-27 academic year, hosted by the King’s Alumni Relations Team in collaboration with King’s Careers and Employability. This is your chance to hear directly from King’s alumni about how to get ahead in your career.
In this session, we will explore the diverse roles available in the tech industry and how to get started in the sector. We will talk about the benefits of self-guided training, ask how to sell your existing skills and experience in a new sector, and discover roles within the industry that may not have occurred to you before…
