Employment Opportunities

For students ready to take the step into paid work, there are several routes to explore:

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships combine hands-on work with training and can be a great fit for students who want to earn while they learn. These are available in a wide range of industries from hospitality and care to IT and engineering.

 

Supported Employment Services

Some students benefit from extra support when moving into the workplace. These services can help with CV writing, applications, job coaching, and ongoing support in a role.
