Connect with our students
Develop our students
Promote your organisation to the talent of tomorrow. Increase your network and make meaningful connections.
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.
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.
