Employ our Students

• 1 year placements should last between nine and 12 months and should start between July and September annually.
• Internships should last between 4-6 weeks – start times dependant on need
• Students should undertake a real job with appropriate responsibility. We ask that the work is of an appropriate level for an undergraduate, relevant to their course of study and the job they’re employed to do.
• We expect students to be allocated a work supervisor who’s responsible for their day-to-day work and general well-being. We ask that this person be available to meet up with an academic member of staff at visits to the company at least once a year.
• Students should receive payment as they receive no other income during this period. Salaries average at approximately £15,000 to £17,000 per annum.
• Students should be classed as employees and as such be covered by relevant insurance, etc.
• Students are expected to work to the terms and conditions of staff in similar roles in the organisation.

• Flexibility – the students do these projects during their second year at university as part of their work based learning module so we need to be flexibility about the timescales
• A realistic project/brief that is appropriate for their experience and timescale base
• Provide a contact for the student during the project for support
• Evaluation and feedback – be available to attend the presentation that students are required to deliver at the end of their module on their project
• Cover any expenses that may be incurred during the project such as travel.

We understand that you may not always have the time or resource to focus on a number of projects you may want to research or look into for your business. A student is a perfect resource for you to be able to do this.  We try to be flexibility to fit in with your needs and timescales.

If you’d like to find out more or have a project you’d like us to explore, please email us with the following details:

• Company name
• General area of your project (Marketing, finance, HR, project mgt, customer service etc)
• Brief outline of the project.
• Timescale for the work

You’ll benefit from our students applying their learnt knowledge and in many cases providing a function that you may not have had capacity for. You’ll receive access to fresh ideas from our highly capable students.  All our students are required to produce a presentation as part of project which gives you a tangible record of their work.
