Connect with our students
Promote your organisation to the talent of tomorrow. Increase your network and make meaningful connections.
We value mutually beneficial connections between our student community and your organisation. Our team are keen to discuss ways to support you with accessing the talent and expertise of our students and graduates.
Develop our students
Provide a live brief project
Do you have a business challenge or area of work that needs some fresh insight? Various modules at York offer the opportunity for York students to work in groups on a live business project to support your business need.
Provide interview questions
We use a platform called Shortlist.me to give our students the chance to practise with a mock interview. Provide bespoke questions for your organisation, instil confidence in our students, and be a featured employer.
Share experiences of working life
Our students really value candid insights into working life. Provide content and gain exposure on our careers blog (hosted on our Handshake site) or podcast. We particularly value content from any employees that graduated from the University of York.
Promote your brand
You can promote your organisation to our community of over 20,000 students in the following ways:
Attend a fair
Promote your organisation and connect with our high-calibre students at our large-scale careers fairs.
Site visits
Open up your working environment, in person or virtually, to help students understand what it would be like to work with you.
