Working with students

Our students are available to companies needing intelligent, temporary labour for:

What's available

Several hundred students available, both full and part-time. Lecturer supervision is also available to guide them if you wish. All have completed at least one year of a degree and many have IT and foreign language skills, as well as intelligence and enthusiasm

Our track record

Rowans Hospice wanted fresh ideas to increase the revenue being won by their charity shops. A team of three undergraduates very professionally tested alternative ideas and provided evidence of a new, profitable way forward. In exchange for their free time, they desired and received a reference to help their careers.

We have been successfully placing such students since 1990. Most companies have repeated their requests for our students.

Cost

You pay the students directly. Full time equivalent salaries of around £11,000 are required to attract the best students.
