Embedding Employability and Creating a Peer Student Led Career Service

Emma Moore is the University’s Director of Careers and Employability. In 2018 Emma re-imagined careers and employability delivery on campus, opening the UK’s first Career Studio – a peer to peer, experiential delivery space run by students, for students empowered by careers professionals. Emma has worked at the University for over 20 years in a variety of different roles. Emma is passionate about students as partners, positive action employability initiatives to improve social mobility and using new tech to enhance employability interactions. In her spare time Emma enjoys food, wine and good company and is very much looking forward to the end of lockdown as she has realised what a large role bars, restaurants and friends play in making her life fun!

In this podcast we chat with Emma about how she navigated through a challenging year of the pandemic and continued to develop the peer led careers service.
