CAREERS AND EMPLOYABILITY According to the most recent data, 92% of our 2016/17 postgraduates who were seeking work or further study, were in/about to start work or were in further study within six months of graduating.* At the University of Salford, we guide you towards your future career, working closely with employers to ensure your learning will be current and based on real-world experiences. You’ll be given opportunities inside and outside the curriculum to develop your skills and learn to confidently convey your employability to potential employers. We have a well-established track record of successful working relationships with business, bringing you work placements, insight and collaborative projects.
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND RECRUITMENT EVENTS We actively source part-time jobs, placements and graduate jobs that you can apply for that help you develop your employability, supplement your income and enter the graduate jobs market. In 2018/19, we secured a total of 3,765 employment opportunities that our students and graduates could apply for, that required a total number of 17,903 recruits. We also run an on-campus annual part-time jobs fair to give you the opportunity to meet employers with vacancies to fill. Other recruitment events throughout the year include Routes into Teaching and specialist events for built environment; business and law; computing, science and engineering; acoustics, audio and video; health sciences, and many more. In addition to this, our on-campus recruitment agency Unitemps helps students access paid part-time and temporary positions working for the University and local employers.
