Future Fortnight 2022
Monday 13 June - Tuesday 28 June 2022
Future Fortnight is two weeks of career workshops and events happening after the exam period, between Monday, 13 June and Tuesday, 28 June 2022. By attending, you will have the chance to meet employers, learn about Manchester Graduate Talent, boost your skills and get tips on job hunting and applications. This will help you find opportunities and further study courses for after university.
The Future Fortnight events are aimed at final year students of all degree levels who are graduating in 2022, but all students and recent graduates are welcome to come along. Future Fortnight is designed to help support you as you plan your transition from university to the working world or further study. There will be a mix of online and in person events, so whether you are still in Manchester or you have already moved away, you can still access the programme.
Future Fortnight has a wide range of events over the two weeks, plus the Grad Fair on Tuesday 14 June. Click on the events below to see more information about each one and to register on CareerConnect. You can attend as many of the events as you want during the two weeks.
