Are you graduating soon?

To ensure you still have access to good quality information resources in your post-Endeavour life, the Library has created a LibGuides / Our Users / Alumni page. This lists special deals (you need to access NOW), professional associations and online resources that may be of value to you.

There is also the Endeavour Careers webpages that not only provide job information but also an Alumni Continuing Professional Development program. The 2015 program is currently in development, but check the 2014 webinars to whet your appetite.

Good luck with your final exams and assessments and we hope to welcome you back as Alumni on our webpages or as a participant in a CPD webinar.
