Discover Governance events
Whether you're starting your career or looking to change careers, our discovery events offer a chance for you to find out what a governance professional does, meet those in the profession and find out what an average day entails.
Join us to explore the breadth of opportunity that a career in governance and company secretarial can offer.
Do you know what a career in governance entails? This virtual event will demonstrate how a law or business degree provides you with the foundation you need to be a company secretary or governance professional and equip you with the skills you need to start a career that spans multiple sectors.
The technical knowledge base for this career path is law, business and finance. What is most important are the personality traits and soft skills required to excel in the role. Having confidence in yourself, being solution led, being able to build trusted relationships and having a high level of written communication. These skills will develop with experience and serve you well throughout your career.
Whether you are a sixth form student, university student or a recent graduate – or you support those who are – this webinar will introduce you to a career path that is rewarding and impactful.

Testimonials
I attended the 'Discover Governance' event and it was fantastic, encouraging and insightful! Despite having had little knowledge of the profession, I left the talk feeling informed and I'm now considering the prospect of pursuing a CG career myself. The event was extremely well-organised & ran very smoothly. As a result of the event, I am now actively applying for roles in corporate governance. It really has been refreshing to discover a career in which I will be provided with high-levels of responsibility, alongside the opportunity to use my business/entrepreneurial mindset - something that a legal career often denies!
