The Psychology Employability Programme
The Psychology Employability Programme is an innovative scheme that is unique to Lancaster University. We develop partnerships with local and national organisations to provide current Psychology undergraduate students with volunteering opportunities, offering companies the opportunity to work with skilled and enthusiastic volunteers. The organisations involved will benefit from having dedicated volunteers on hand to assist in their given role. Each year we place between 70-100 students in a variety of roles, including research assistants, befrienders, support facilitators, and mentors.
Why get involved?
- Have access to a regular supply of enthusiastic volunteers to assist you
- Get to know your local university and students and expand your network of contacts, allowing you to continually recruit new volunteers
- Gain extra support for your particular client group
- Make a difference to student’s career prospects
