What if your connections could help shape your future? Join Richard Porter, Managing Director of Communications at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, for an inspiring look at his unconventional career journey.

Richard left school at 18 without A-levels or a university degree, starting instead with an internship at his local newspaper before going on to work at the BBC and build a successful career in communications. He’ll share the lessons he’s learned along the way, from the importance of believing in yourself and finding mentors to building networks, overcoming challenges, and being prepared to change direction. A motivating session for students that shows there is no single route to a successful career and that the people you meet along the way can help open unexpected doors. 🚪
