IHRR welcomes you to the Durham Risk Masters Careers event, where our range of speakers will talk about their career paths and the key skills they require. There is also an opportunity to ask questions. Although the event is career, rather than recruitment focused, it is also an opportunity to find out more about the organisations our alumni work for.
