Careers media resources
Our recorded webinars, videos, audio recordings, forums and resource documents cover many different topics to help you discover a range of career areas, explore work and volunteer opportunities, succeed in the recruitment process and know where to get support. Some recorded live and some pre-recorded, our sessions are delivered by our team of Careers Consultants and often included guests such as employers, academics and OU alumni, who share their experience and expertise. You can also access careers forums for up to a year after being live so you can browse questions and answers from students, guests and Careers Consultants.
