Your time at university is likely to be one of the most exciting and memorable experiences of your life. In front of you lies a path to decisions, opportunities and discovery that will help guide you to your chosen career.

The journey to employment or to further education can be a challenging one, with many difficult choices to be made. But employers and universities are finally recognising the importance of recruiting from the whole talent pool and the richness that diversity can bring to the workforce.

Employers and educational establishments have a duty as part of race relations legislation to promote equality of opportunity and to tackle unlawful discrimination. Many are beginning to take that duty seriously. This is evident in the wide range of adverts and features in KAL from organisations from every sector which demonstrates how eager they are to recruit exceptional people like you.

The time has now come for you to make a contribution to society and to seize the opportunities that are there for your taking. This is your chance. Don’t pass it by.

Seize the opportunity - Good Luck!
