Opportunities for Employers

The idea is a simple one, but incredibly effective: you host a student or recent graduate with the specific skills and aptitude to manage a piece of work that will help your business in terms of growth, development or sustainability. We provide you with a shortlist of carefully vetted candidates from which you make a final selection. The length of the placement is up to you, but generally they run for 8-12 weeks. And we are here to support you every step of the way. 

Our programmes can be an effective and affordable way to:

  • Research new products, niche markets,
  • Improve information systems, internal communications, operational procedures, etc.
  • Create marketing strategies, promotional materials, e-commerce facilities, etc.
  • Develop innovative ideas and fresh perspectives.
 

Business benefits for employers often include:

  • New skills & knowledge
  • A fresh perspective on current practices 
  • A chance to promote your business to potential employees
  • Closer relationships with local universities
  • PR coverage & awards opportunities.
