The Ethnic Diversity Fair was an information and jobs fair aimed at black and Asian students and graduates. It linked students and graduates with employers who value developing a diverse workforce and were therefore keen to promote their opportunities to you.

It was a great opportunity to make personal contact with representatives from around 25 organisations in a range of professional areas, all of which are committed to developing a diverse workforce.

Exhibitors at this fair recognise that valuing cultural diversity is a business imperative.

More details about the fair, including a list of exhibitors will be available nearer the time.

If you are an exhibitor or a recruiter interested in exhibiting at this fair next year please see the information for exhibitors.

This information and jobs fair is specifically for black and Asian students and graduates. It is a great opportunity to make personal contact with representatives from around 25 organisations in a range of professional areas. All exhibitors have graduate vacancies for autumn 2012, some have work experience opportunities and some have jobs with immediate starts. All in all, hundreds of interesting opportunities will be on offer from a diverse range of recruiters.
