Student Development Coach Team
Our Careers, Employment and Enterprise team works closely with employers in our specialisms to make sure that our courses remain relevant and industry focused. We also run careers events and fairs throughout the year.
We pride ourselves on preparing students to be job-ready and actively sought after.
We're keen to develop strong partnerships with industry to work on real-life projects, as well as provide opportunities for employment. This includes:
- promoting your vacancies directly to our students, from local opportunities to international graduate opportunities
- offering opportunities to present to our students about opportunities in your organisation/industry, and the type of skills and experience they need to succeed in their careers
- engaging with what is delivered in the curriculum; your views could positively impact on what and how our students learn and prepare for their futures.
