AFBE-UK Scotland an Aberdeen based not-for-profit organisation, which encourages engineering as a career, supported students at an event in Aberdeen.
The event which was held at Shell Woodbank House proved a success with the Transition programme featuring career workshops and CV clinics as well as mock interviews and assessments.
Hosted by the organisation AFBE-UK Scotland, it kick-started a series of autumn events which are also aimed at offering students an insight into key topics associated with the engineering sector.
Transition is one of the major events in the AFBE-UK Scotland calendar and held in conjunction with the African Network of an oil major.
AFBE-UK Scotland is the Aberdeen-based group of a not-for-profit organisation which encourages young people, particularly those of black and minority ethnic (BME) origin, to consider an engineering career.
