Connect through study
We offer a free and simple self-service vacancy listing option on our job board TARGETconnect. Register your details on our Job Board and once approved you will have direct access to our job board to upload and manage your vacancy listings.
We offer a fully managed on-campus recruitment agency. This service can help you to attract, and recruit your future talent, for casual ad-hoc temporary contracts or discrete project-based contracts. We can support payroll services, candidate screening, or a full end to end recruitment service.
We capture information about our students' career goals and interests which means we can target very specific groups of students with key messages that are relevant to them. We can support you to engage with particular student groups, for example through targeted emails based on course, faculty, year of study, or occupational interest.
We work closely with you to raise your profile on campus and assist you in securing applications from our talented students.
Lancaster students are amongst the best future talent in the UK and are nurtured through an extensive employability support programme, reflected in their outstanding graduate prospects once they leave.Dedicated careers professionals create personalised career plans that encourage students to engage in employability skills workshops, employer presentations, valuable work experience and placements, and connect with alumni through initiatives like our Mentoring Programme.
Our mentoring programme matches professionals (mentors) with Lancaster University students (mentees). It provides a wonderful opportunity for mentees to gain ‘real-world’ insights, but also for mentors to share their wisdom.The goal of the mentoring programme is to give both mentors and mentees the chance to help one another enhance their professional development in areas such as leadership and communication. We’re always looking for employers who are interested in mentoring one of our students to help them launch their career.
