Aims for 2014-2015
 Organize trips to visit companies more frequently and thus reinforce the students’
links with industry.
 Increase CUES’ co-operation with student-run societies.
 Organize an even greater Careers Fair with an emphasis on helping students to obtain
summer internships.
 Run workshops to improve students’ employability and help them acquire useful skills
(ie: such as how to write a competent CV).
 Survey CUES members to know which events they would like CUES to plan for them.
