The Employability Link has a variety of resources and services that can help you to reach our students and graduates .

Presentations On Campus

We can provide facilities for campus presentations. Audio visual equipment and refreshments (if required) can be arranged.

Whenever possible we will work with academic departments to ensure that the timing fits with class timetables.

We publicise to relevant students and co-ordinate a sign-up service through the Events and Workshops section of our website. This allows us to keep you up to date with numbers attending and provides an email reminder to students 24 hours before the presentation.There is no charge for this service unless refreshments are to be provided. Charges will be provided on request.

Recruitment Visits

It is possible to provide a facility to have a recruitment desk within the University to meet students and provide information or discuss your recruitment opportunities.

We are also able to provide accommodation, on campus, throughout the year for first interviews or selection/aptitude tests. Please discuss your requirements with us. A nominal charge will be made for accommodation (lunch can be included).

Careers Events

Employers are welcome to provide sessions for students as part of our Seminar Programme. It is always useful for students to hear employers' views on the whole recruitment process. You are also welcome to participate in any of the sessions provided in the programme e.g. CVs and Applications, Effective Interviews, Assessment Centres.

Employers can take part by making a presentation, providing a workshop, offering advice or even just an opportunity to talk with students.
