LSE Careers aims to provide students identifying as LGBTQ+ with valuable resources, support, and networking opportunities during their time at LSE.
In addition to our core offer, this includes bespoke events with LGBTQ+ alumni and employer representatives, access to a range of up-to-date online resources, careers blogs, and more – all aimed at supporting you to shape your career journey.
In short, we aim to help you approach your job search, engage with inclusive employers, prepare for graduate recruitment and selection, and empower you to feel more confident in bringing your whole self to work.
How LSE Careers can support you
