Hosting students at your organisation

new talent that can make a real difference to your organisation

There is the opportunity to host University of Plymouth students from a range of disciplines, for 12 months or for shorter periods of time, some being paid whilst others are not.

They can benefit you as they can be:

• A source of fresh enthusiasm and new ideas
• An extra support while you are pursuing other business or organisational issues
• A means of tackling shelved projects to take them forward
• A route to university resources and knowledge often at the leading edge of technology and current academic thinking
• A cost effective solution to your recruitment needs.
• A good way to 'try before you buy' a potential new recruit.

Not only are you providing valuable work experience but you'll be contributing to future university teaching and programme development.
