Work with our students and graduates
Business
Our students and graduates can bring the latest skills and knowledge to your business through placements, student consultancy projects, and part-time roles and seasonal jobs.
Our Careers and Employability Service has a team of Graduate Recruitment Consultants to guide you through the recruitment process, and an online platform where you can advertise part-time jobs. You can also contact our placement officers to find placement students eager to apply their studies to the workplace.
Government funded graduate recruitment
Government funding through the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Scheme is available to support projects undertaken by a graduate that help a business tackle a particular issue. These projects are guided by University of Portsmouth academic expertise and facilities. If you'd like more details of the KTP Scheme, please contact our Research and Innovation Services on ris@port.ac.uk or 02392846191.
