The Employer Engagement Team at the University of Greater Manchester specialises in connecting students and graduates with local and national companies and organisations.
We offer a variety of ways for you to engage with us which includes:

Meeting our students face-to-face by participating in our Employer in the Foyer initiative which takes place from October to April annually. This will help you to promote your brand and speak to our students on campus.
Accessing our Vacancy Advertising service on our free-to-use, fully GDPR-compliant, self-managed platform, Student Hub.
Promoting your internships, placements and job and volunteering opportunities at one of our annual Career Fairs, some of which are subject-specific.
Connecting with our curriculum by presenting real-life industry challenges, work shadowing opportunities and offering industry insights through delivering guest lectures.
Providing mentoring support for those students who are keen to set up their own business.
Advising on our curriculum offer and academic assessments by joining one of our subject-related Industry Advisory Boards.
