Youth employment
The event aims to raise awareness of the benefits and support available at the University for youth and student employment.
It also aims to inspire staff, and those who support recruitment, to engage with current youth and student employment initiatives when filling vacancies.
The session provides an opportunity for staff to hear briefly from partner organisations involved in youth and student employment.
Speakers from the following organisations will attend the event:
- Skills Development Scotland (SDS)
- You Train - training provider of Modern Apprentices
- The JET Academy
- Career Ready
- Careers Service, University of Edinburgh
Time will be available for staff to speak with participating organisations and ask any specific questions that they might have.
If you require any further information, please contact the UHRS Resourcing Team at HR.Recruitment@ed.ac.uk.
Most of us remember our first mentor or the person who took us under their wing when starting our careers. I’m confident that by bringing new ideas, fresh thinking and a generational perspective, our Modern Apprentice will have a notable impact to our existing team and stakeholders.
