Make sure that you set aside time to mark out all the key dates and key events for the year. Agree on a set number of events for the year and make sure that these are planned, before you agree to take part with any other ad-hoc activities.

Use this time to highlight which universities and colleges you would like to work with and make sure you make initial contact as soon as possible. Universities get very busy and you may lose out on an opportunity if you do not book early.

Create a document with key information for each event, along with your tracking document, and bring these documents with you when you meet with the relevant member(s) of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to talk through the year.
