Placements
Are you looking to develop a new project? Are you looking to bolster your workforce and capacity? Do you have any skills gaps you need to address?
By offering a placement year, you gain a cost-effective resource to support key projects, develop future talent pipelines, and enhance your organisation’s profile within the University and beyond. Many employers find that placement students bring enthusiasm and innovative ideas that drive productivity and creativity. Plus, placements offer a great opportunity to assess potential future hires, reducing recruitment risks down the line.
If you're interested in finding out more about how a placement year student could benefit your business, our team is here to help. Check out our Employer Handbook and get in touch today to explore how we can connect you with the right talent for your organisation - contact our Employer Engagement Officers on studentfutures@hope.ac.uk.

- Careers Fairs
