"The results from this year's Sloan Career Report are very positive. The vast majority of students have found jobs they are pleased with on graduation. The Sloan Fellowship programme and Career Services assemble a package of tools, information and support which helps focus the student's career goals. The personal support extends throughout the programme until students have found their first job." Laura Renoldi, Associate Director for Skills Development & Coaching, Career Services
