Chinese Students & Scholars Association: Head of Careers Department

My name is Amelia Zhang, and I am currently a third-year Design Engineering student at Imperial College. Over the past year, I have actively engaged with our student union's Careers Department, organizing initiatives that have not only honed my skills but also deepened my understanding of our community’s needs.

A standout achievement was my role in facilitating a partnership with Geely Group, which led to a pivotal event connecting students with industry leaders, effectively bridging the gap between academia and the professional world. Following this, I successfully integrated Apple into our online spring recruitment event, which received positive feedback from both students and corporate attendees, highlighting the value of such collaborations.

The Careers Department is essential in providing students with insights into future careers and in smoothing their paths to overcome potential challenges. As a student at a top engineering school, I am driven to explore limitless possibilities.

I am committed to expanding our department's offerings to address diverse student needs, pushing into new fields, and challenging existing perceptions to unlock broader career prospects. I aim to organize interactions with leading global companies, providing in-depth career development guidance and planning seminars that connect cutting-edge technology with our academic pursuits.

My strong passion for building significant professional networks fuels my dedication to transforming academic opportunities into real-world success, ensuring our educational experiences lead to tangible career outcomes.
