Have a feeling you may have missed something? Catch up with our most watched student recruitment and development webinars of 2020.

ISE webinars took off in a big way in 2020. Members’ appetite to connect and share heightened as they looked for ways to adapt their programmes and activities in light of the pandemic.

Responding to the hot topics of the moment and the needs of our membership, we formed expert panels and shared the latest data as well as offered best practice ideas and guidance.

 

Here’s our top 10 student recruitment and development webinars of 2020
