Find out how your business could benefit from a placement student. University of Brighton students on ‘sandwich’ courses are looking for temporary professional placements in many sectors including:
- Environment
- Engineering
- Business and management
- Leisure and tourism management
Professional placements are for agreed durations which vary between approximately 3 months and one-year, and the majority are for paid employment. Offering placements to students can give your business many advantages:
- Get a high-calibre employee who is motivated to perform well, and bring fresh, innovative ideas to your workplace
- Adopt a flexible way of meeting staffing needs. A placement student can undertake specialised project-based work, or release your other employees from day-to-day operations enabling them to undertake more strategic work
- Keep one step ahead of the game and secure the best talent before our graduates reach the competitive recruitment marketplace
- Achieve cost effective graduate recruitment - a placement gives you a chance to get to know an undergraduate, which is a much safer way of judging suitability for employment than the typical interview or psychometric test.
