The technology industry thrives on connectivity, and connecting with the right students and graduates is crucial to its success.
As you can see from the news stories we’ve selected below, the technology industry is at once highly touted by the brightest graduates, and yet still needs more of them. Students should be aware of how sought after they really are.
Inside Careers often functions as a channel through which different stakeholders within the careers spectrum are brought together. Below, student questions will be met with employer answers in our Q&A session with J A Kemp. Students might connect with the stories of recent graduates through our profile search portal. In our new LinkedIn group, we offer another avenue for students to meet careers professionals, and share advice on the subject of patent attorney careers.
In keeping with this spirit, we encourage you to pass along any of this to those who may find it useful through our newsletter webpage.
Kind regards,
Emma Manington
Online Content Editor, Inside Careers

LinkedIn Group for Patent Attorney Careers:
We have just launched a new LinkedIn Group to provide an additional platform for us to engage with others on the subject of patent careers. Unlike our group for careers staff, this new forum intends to integrate careers professionals and students. Bringing the two bodies together in this way will encourage students to interact with careers staff, promoting the accessibility of careers centres as much as the patent profession.
