Graduates are being offered the opportunity to get "fit" for the jobs market with a two-day employability skills boot camp.
The Career Confidence Graduate Workshop is being run by Plymouth University's Careers and Employability Service and will provide techniques and tips from job search strategies and writing CVs, to tackling the application process and shining in interviews.
Delivered by qualified university advisers and invited speakers, it will also look at career planning and making the most of volunteering, and will feature speakers providing an introduction to starting a business.
The workshop, on July 23 and 24, is open to anyone who has graduated from any university in the past year, or in the past three years from Plymouth, and is free.
Jo Davies, career gateway manager, said: "Although the graduate jobs market is improving, it is still competitive in many sectors. Some graduates are searching for that first step towards their career; or wondering what direction they should take.
"This is a great opportunity to receive guidance, talk to careers professionals, and meet graduates in a similar situation."
