Earlier this year we worked with The Conduit to host The Conduit X Known Impact NGO, non-profit, and charity careers event.
A big thank you again to everyone that came!
The Conduit is actively expanding their reach and accessibility to students (from undergraduates all the way through to PhD level). They are particularly interested in expanding their access to young adults and so as well as their memberships have events and opportunities for non-members. This was a great opportunity to prioritise groups of people who may never usually get opportunities or access to things like this, be aware of them and or/ where more representation, inclusion, and equity is needed. So it was great to see the turn out and the ripple effect of impact the event has had on attendees as well as The Conduit achieving key metrics set before the event. We look forward to seeing what everyone involved does next.
A special shoutout to:
🎤Josh Robinson as the panel facilitator representing student voice and The Conduit for the evening, currently studying at King’s College London
🌟 Elizabeth Baillie at The Conduit for making this possible and bringing everyone together
