Fantastic talk from @EAnoukBec about civil service career opportunities and transferable skills. Brilliant way to lead into our #CityConnections22 networking! Thanks Kay!

A really inspiring visit to HSBC Sheffield now, showcasing roles open to all graduates, and the graduate internship scheme. Great to see a former City Connections student speaking about their own experience too! #CityConnections22

One thing I don't think anyone talks seriously enough about is the absolute culture shock of coming to university. Particularly, as a student from a more working-class background.


Really interesting thread on the experience of being #FirstGen #IAmFirstGen

As a first-gen student, I've always known that other students with legacies in academia or family histories of college education have inherent advantages over me, but I don't think I've ever been able to see and understand that as clearly as today.

I've written a thing on LinkedIn about my experience as a first generation student. It's a long read, but I hope it's of interest to any other current or former first gen students - linkedin.com/pulse/what-doe… via @LinkedIn #IAmFirstGen

Brilliant @Firstgensheff workshop this afternoon on 'what does it mean to be first gen?' with guest alumna Lauren, the student wellbeing service and @UniShefCareers. Great discussions on #firstgen experience, #employability and #wellbeing!


So looking forward to our first event of 2020 'What does it mean to be first gen?' this afternoon!  It's good to be back!
