Careers and Employability Service – Recruit postgraduate specialists in technology and management

Work with us

Share your expertise to support our students’ career journey.

We welcome employers and alumni to share their industry knowledge and real-world experience with our students. You can do this in the following ways: • Student mentoring – coach and mentor our students throughout their job hunting process. This can be a mixture of remote and face-to-face contact time, depending on your availability. Watch the video. • Skills sessions – run an on-campus or virtual session to provide tips, advice and resources to support our students in developing the employability skills they need to be successful, e.g. communication skills, creativity, emotional intelligence and resilience. Help our students produce a quality job application - whether it’s for purely hypothetical, or for real vacancies in your company. • Mock interviews – host an entire interview practice programme or just as a one-off experience. Provide feedback to our students to help them improve their performance. • Industry insights – tell our students what it’s like to work in your industry, your company or your function. Events are available to book in-person or virtually. • Guest speaking – join one of our themed University events and share your expertise, run an employability workshop, give a presentation or participate in a panel discussion.
