Virtual Food Careers Day

Demand for new products, advice on what we should be eating, when and how much is never far from the social conscience. Whether you fancy a deep dive into the science behind a perfect strawberry (shape, size, colour, taste, texture); think you have genius ideas for new food products, or want to use science and knowledge to influence how people eat, a career in the food industry could be the right path for you.

The Food Careers day will give you the opportunity to explore the wide range of careers and opportunities available within the sector – which employs more than 4 million people and needs fresh talent.

The event will have a mixture of pre-recorded and live content from academic staff, students and industry. There will be a number of live sessions through out the day, which will give you the chance to talk directly with staff and hear from students:

Keynote speaker - Kamal Ellis-Hyman - Motivational Speaker - 12:30
