Employer partnerships at USP College

We are always on the lookout for ways to ensure our students are work-ready when they come to the end of their journey at USP College. 

We are looking for:

CPD Day Guest Speakers

If you can spare an hour to share insights on your industry, life skills, and the development of transferable skills with our current students, we would be delighted to have you as a guest speaker.

CPD Day Guest Employers

Here are just some of our CPD Day employers from our most recent CPD Day!

Work Experience Placements

Our Work Experience team is constantly seeking new employers willing to provide our students with fresh experiences that complement their theoretical studies at the College. As a work experience employer, you would host a student at your workplace for 30 hours, typically within a block-week period, enabling them to acquire industry skills and gain valuable insights into the professional world.

Engaging Students with Live Project Briefs

By setting project briefs for students, you enable them to acquire skills that may not be attainable solely through classroom learning. Students benefit from the opportunity to follow specific guidelines, incorporate key components into their projects and the chance to present them directly back to you, the employer, once complete!

Industry Work Placements

For those interested in offering longer-term work placements, we invite you to become an Industry Placement Employer for our T-Level students. Typically, students work with you once a week throughout the academic year, allowing them to immerse themselves in real projects and develop a consistent work routine.

Sector Board Members

Our Sector Board Members are made up of seasoned industry professionals who convene regularly to keep our teaching faculty informed about the latest trends within their respective sectors. By becoming a Sector Board Member, you play a crucial role in guaranteeing that we are equipping our students with the precise skill sets essential for thriving in their chosen career paths.
