Course-related vacancies
Joblink's Course-Related Vacancies are offered in partnership with The Careers Centre, providing a service for students to help them find part-time work related to their academic studies.
Working in an environment that runs in conjunction with your studies can really enhance long-term career opportunities.
Not everything can be learnt in lectures, and employers are increasingly demanding experience as well as a degree.
The Careers Centre offer workshops to provide support in making applications for part-time work. Careers consultants also offer individual support to students before, during and after work.
