Sustainable Recruitment Alliance (SRA)
We’re working with the Sustainable Recruitment Alliance to deliver Sustainability Careers Week.
The Sustainability Recruitment Alliance encourages organisations to take a more eco-friendly approach to finding early talent, which includes reducing the amount of freebies that are given out at careers fairs, much of which goes to landfill. The SRA want everyone in the sector to get involved – including students, university career services, employers and beyond.
We all have the power to make a positive impact!
