Develop staff skills through higher education
Recruiting higher education students
Studying for a degree involves time management, communication and organisational skills, and the ability to learn quickly. Graduates should be equipped with these skills, along with more specific knowledge and experiences that can be valuable to your business.
However, finding the right person for your needs can be difficult. Offering internships, work placements, or undergraduate projects for students can enable you to test out the talent before committing to hiring individuals.
Help with recruiting graduates
The higher education sector is very good at matching students to work experience and project work opportunities. Many have placement advisers/officers working within the university's career service or a dedicated team that can help. If you have an opportunity to offer, contacting your local university would be a good place to start.
