Spaces for this event are limited, so we encourage you to register as soon as possible to secure your spot.
Aligned with our commitment to equity, priority access will be given to students from underrepresented and multicultural communities. However, if you are not from a global majority background and wish to attend, we encourage you to register, and your attendance will be approved.

About the Event
Create Connect has partnered with Ravensbourne University to support final-year students from multicultural backgrounds in accelerating their careers post-graduation.

Black Caribbean graduates follow with average earnings of £19,800 one year post-graduation.
Pakistani graduates have the lowest earnings five years (£24,900) and ten years (£25,600) after graduating.
