Careers fair corporate invasion of University of Nottingham

NSPM | 12.10.2005 11:47 | Anti-militarism | Ecology | Globalisation

A careers fair takes place on Mon & Tue at which BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, Caterpillar, Shell & others will attempt to recruit graduates. Help us give their whole stories.

On Monday 17th & Tuesday 18th Oct, AIESEC are holding a careers fair in the Portland Building of the university (10.30am-3.30pm). Companies invited include BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, Caterpillar (arms dealing companies), Shell (environmental and human rights abuses), and many others. A full list can be found on AIESEC's site:  http://www.careersfairs.org/module/student/fairs/view/74

Members of Nottingham Student Peace Movement, People & Planet, and the Environment & Social Justice (E&SJ) committee will be handing out our own materials to fill in the gaps in students' knowledge, that these companies will invariably leave them with. This will follow on from a successful leafleting last year, and will be backed up by increased pressure from the E&SJ committee to ban the worst offenders from our campus.

E&SJ have organised an ethical careers fair that will take place later this year.

This is a call for students to come and take part, and for those who have material relevant to campaigning against these companies to pass it on. Please email the address below.
