Aston University is committed to supporting local, national and international businesses through its impactful research and by delivering graduates with a global outlook who are equipped with the work ready skills to support the future growth of organisations. To help you access this talent, the UniversityÂs Careers and Placements Team offers a comprehensive, free-of-charge recruitment service.
Whatever your business, weÂve got the talent to provide you with the skills and expertise you need. AstonÂs triple accredited Business School develops individuals who excel within enterprises and create successful new ventures, while students in the School of Engineering and Applied Science study fields including Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical Engineering, as well as Product Design and Project Management.
Angie Robinson, Head of Employer and Student Engagement at Aston University, said: ÂThe current and future skills gap is a hot topic. We know from our close links to industry that many organisations are worried about their ageing workforce. Our driven and talented students can help future-proof your business by fulfilling any skills shortages you may encounter as other staff reach retirement age and by bringing a fresh and enthusiastic approach.Â
There are plenty of opportunities for you to employ AstonÂs talent:
 Students on a placement year
 Graduates
 Summer internships
 Seasonal/part-time work
We also offer other services for employers which include drop-in sessions, careers fairs and skills workshops which will enable you to promote your organisation to Aston students and graduates, and a Professional Mentoring Scheme which pairs business professionals with students to offer them one-to-one support.
Ben Marks, Managing Director of YouthSight, said: ÂWe chose to recruit students from Aston University because we know that the University embeds employability into all aspects of the student journey, ensuring they are equipped with the right skills and mind-set for the workplace. We werenÂt disappointed: the placement students weÂve recruited have had an extremely positive impact on our business, helping to alleviate pressure points and bringing a fresh approach to how we work.Â
