INTERNATIONAL ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
While pursuing my master’s degree at university, I embarked on a transformative academic journey. The programme and the services at LJMU prepared me very well for the world of work. Staying updated with all the new and emerging technologies in the electrical engineering world has given me a broad knowledge of information to tackle any challenge and any scenario I might face. Also, the course is accredited by IET, which will help me get on the chartered engineer ladder in the future. One of the services LJMU provide is the Careers Team at Student Futures who really helped me to shape my CV and guided me through the different steps of job interviews.
Since graduating, I have become a programme leader for Electrical installation at Blackpool and the Fylde College and look forward to where this role will take me!
