Moving on: finding employment and further study

The Careers Service work closely with national and local employers to publicise job vacancies and Worcester is the only university in the country with an on-campus Job Pod – a powerful job search terminal operated by Job Centre Plus.

We are also keen to promote the benefits of part time work on campus as this can really boost your employability as well as bringing you some extra cash.  Opportunities also exist to take on part-time work alongside your studies. Many students apply to become Student Ambassadors, taking on a wide variety of work including helping out on Open Days and giving campus tours. The University also recruits students to work with the local community as Worcester Outreach Workers, while the Disability and Dyslexia Service employs note-takers to support students during lectures. Other part time jobs are available within the Students Union, Facilities, the Library, and Catering services.

We recognise the challenges facing graduates in finding work upon graduation, and the University of Worcester is a national leader in its Graduate Internship Scheme which combines salaried internships with the opportunity to study for a postgraduate qualification. This has won accolades from the CBI, TUC, NUS and government for its innovative, practical approach to the recession and has helped many graduates take the first step on their career ladder.
