We exist to further the career prospects of cantabs.
We are the oldest careers society at the University of Cambridge and are run by students for students. We not only help to build connections between students and employers, but also between Cantabs themselves.
Over the past year The Cambridge Guild has worked with firms and professionals from a variety industries to host a wide range of events varying from speaker events featuring Sarah Loftus (Unilever’s Engineering Director), Richard Reed (Co-Founder of Innocent Drinks) and Jordan Belfort to more intimate events such as Hackathons, “Consultancy & Cake” case study workshops and company hosted networking dinners. Keep up to date with our events by signing up to our mailing list!
We’ve achieved a lot since 1976. We are the founder of the nationwide Bright Futures network, which now has presence in over 50 different UK universities. We’ve grown to become one of Cambridge’s largest societies with over 4000 members and employers have flocked to us; we’ve hosted the likes of Google, IBM and Teach First in the past.
We are excited to continue to build on our strong foundations by deepening our relationships with existing partners, and working with a broader range of new partners and attracting global leaders to hold inspirational events.
