Careers, Employability & Opportunity are pleased to introduce the new Student Opportunities Hub, prior to its full launch later this summer.
Colleagues are invited to one of two introductory events taking place this July and August, where they can learn more detail about how the Student Opportunities Hub will provide a seamless way to recruit students.
Bringing together the Internship Hub and Student Job Hub in one place, the Student Opportunities Hub is a one-stop shop for on and off campus recruiters to find UofG student talent for internships and student friendly part-time roles.
Hiring a student offers a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into the student mindset. By recruiting students, you access fresh, innovative ideas and benefit from their diverse skill sets. Additionally, you play a vital role in shaping their future career prospects by providing valuable work experience.
The Student Opportunities Hub makes it easy to recruit students by offering promotion, application form management, eligibility checks, and interview arrangements. Opportunities can be part-time during the academic term (up to 20 hours per week) or part-time/full-time over the summer, catering to your department's needs.
Funding has been received through the Student Experience Strategy to increase opportunities through the Student Opportunities Hub, acknowledging the vital role of work experience in enhancing students' time at university and in preparing them for their future lives and careers.
We will be hosting two staff-focused launch events over the summer, where you can meet the team and learn about the Student Opportunities Hub. These events will feature short presentations from Careers, Employability & Opportunity staff, HR colleagues, and key users from around the university. You’ll hear more about the benefits of recruiting through the Student Opportunities Hub including details of our new simplified process.
After the presentations, there will be networking and refreshments.
Whether or not you’ve hired, or thought about hiring, a student before, we’d love to see you at one of the events and be able to tell you more about this fantastic programme.
