What people say about this event
The Bright Network Festival 2021 included sector overview and skills sessions, which were all incredibly interesting and insightful. I want to thank Bright Network for the opportunity to talk with and learn from firm representatives, develop insights into the graduate labour market, network with like-minded peers and hear from successful alumni about their career journeys.
It was extremely exciting to be a part of the Bright Network Festival 2021. The career insights and advice from amazing representatives of all the firms was incredibly useful.
I want to say a huge thank you to the whole team at Bright Network for making this event happen and giving young adults who might not know what career to go for the tools they need to decide on their career path and make their dreams a reality.
