Four distinguished ESHCC alumni will share their stories and talk openly about their journey from studying history, media & communication, and arts & culture to working in the cultural & creative sector, digital technology, fundraising, or the non-profit sector – and all the steps they took along the way.

You can hear firsthand from those who have studied at ESHCC and been in your shoes, learn valuable tips and strategies for successfully starting your career, and have the chance to network with professionals who have made significant impacts in their fields.

We invite all ESHCC students and young alumni to join this career conversation.
