Description
“A veterinary degree is a passport to so many incredible career destinations."
Dr Escalona Founder of Vets Stay Go Diversify!
Vets Stay Go Diversify! are working with SPVS Lancaster team and Veterinary Voices UK to pilot a career support roadshow at veterinary universities. Our first event will be at Surrey University, on the evening of the 7th March 2018. This will be taking place off the back of a 4th and 5th year student career day. We extend a warm welcome to exhibitors and guests from the careers day to stay on for the evening event.
"The single most important thing I've attended outside of my veterinary curriculum"
Vet student at SPVS Lancaster event
This event will provide a fantastic opportunity for up to 100 delegates (students, vets, RVNs, exhibitor guests) to build their professional connections and develop their confidence in order to harness their career potential; which could be in order to find a suitable first job, build their network or when aiming to transition into a new role.
“The best veterinary conference I have ever attended. I feel like I was finally in the right place, between the right people and on the right time. It's been my greatest pleasure to be there and exchange experiences. It was a life-changing experience!” VSGD LIVE delegate Natalia Strokwaska, vet
