Helpers Use students as ushers on the day.
Contact one of the committee working in a University to circulate students, they have a chance to meet and hear the speakers as well as earn some money. At the last careers day we planned to have 6 students at the last careers day, but only 4 turned up. They worked incredibly hard and we actually increased the payment to 30.- for the day. They can put details on their CV, listen to the speakers and meet psychologists. Paid secretarial help, the branch committee have agreed to pay 6.- an hour, but it should come out of the event income.
