Skills4Work takes place over the Autumn and Spring terms at UCL Careers.

 
Skills4Work includes a diverse range of organisations to produce an events programme of panel discussions, interactive workshops, 1-1 coaching on interviews or CV’s, and mock assessment centres. These events are free for employers to take part in and a way in which employers can raise brand awareness on campus. Event topics include themes such as Commercial Awareness, Presenting & Influencing and Marketing Yourself to Recruiters. For more information on how to join our Autumn term programme of events or to ensure you’re added to the Skills4Work mailing list, please email Ally Hawley, Employer Engagement and Events Officer (Skills) at a.hawley@ucl.ac.uk.

We are delighted to invited organisations to supply a UCL alumni profile for the 2016/17 UCL Careers Annual Guide, which is distributed to penultimate and final year students and covers all our events and services. The Guide has a print run of 3,500 and is also available via our website. The Guide is distributed at inductions, major events and to all first-time visitors to UCL Careers. An A5 UCL alumni profile, including a colour logo and photo, costs £325 + VAT and allows you to highlight your interest in recruiting UCL graduates.

We are also offering a “Build your Brand” package to employers, combining an Annual Guide alumni profile, our Skills4Work supporters package and an advert on our digital screen in our UCL Careers Library- ideal for organisations keen to raise their profile with a wide range of UCL students. Booked individually these options would cost a total of £804 + VAT but we are offering the package for £695 + VAT. For more information, please contact Olivia Hynes at o.hynes@ucl.ac.uk

Deadline: Friday 1st July

Opportunities on Monday 6th – Tuesday 7th June

 
This two week programme runs from 31st May and will give 100 penultimate & finale year undergraduate students and postgraduate taught students the chance to develop practical employability skills via workshops, networking and coaching delivered by employers and careers consultants. The programme is part of UCL’s wider Global Citizenship initiative, which encourages students to reflect on how behaviours such as ethics, leadership, cross cultural awareness and problem solving fit into their career plans. We are still looking for employers to take part in Speed Interviews (Monday 6th June) and the Mock Assessment Centre (Tuesday 7th June). To find out more or to express interest in taking part please contact Ally Hawley, Employer Engagement and Events Officer by email: a.hawley@ucl.ac.uk before Friday 13th May 2016.

Here at UCL Careers we are looking at new ways to work with employers and we are particularly keen to tailor our offering to two groups – “New” Employers and SME Employers. UCL Careers is committed to engaging with a variety of organisations, both large and small, in order to help build your brand on campus, meet with students and graduates, and get involved with skills sessions to help increase UCL students’ employability skills.

New Employers

We continue to strive to build our employer network and attract new employers onto campus to showcase the variety of sectors and roles students have the opportunity to go into upon graduating. In order to promote new companies via UCL Careers, we have a selection of options depending on which services are most suitable for your needs. These include:

> Skills4Work Supporter (priority booking for Skills4Work events). Cost: £221.25 +VAT

> Digital Screen (in our careers library). Cost: £111.75 + VAT

> Recruiter in Residence (we market you being on campus and target to specific student cohorts) or Pop Up (we can book a UCL space for you to be on campus). Cost £183 + VAT

> Annual Guide profile. Cost £221.25 + VAT

Costs shown above include our 25% discount for these products. The above services can be bought individually or as a total package for £737.25 + VAT. Employers wishing to benefit from this package will not have participated in our centralised UCL Careers services in the last three years.

SMEs

We are keen to grow the number of SMEs we engage with and wish to maximise the relationship for both the company and the university. We understand that SMEs may not require all the same services as a larger company and so would like to offer flexibility that is tailored to your organisation. A discount (where applicable) of 50% can be offered on the following services:

> Skills4Work Supporter (priority booking for Skills4Work events). Cost: £147.50 + VAT

> Monthly Graduate Profile of a graduate success story on UCL Careers website. Cost: free.

> Recruiter in Residence (we market you being on campus and target to specific student cohorts) or Pop Up (we can book a UCL space for you to be on campus). Cost: £122 + VAT

> Interview Space (specifically for a Talent Bank employer). Cost: free.

> Global Citizenship Employability Programme – guaranteed presence on campus during this two-week summer programme. Cost: free.

> Themed Week – either guaranteed presence during the week at events or during the following two weeks as a recruiter-in-residence, dependent on how your company fits with the themed week programme. Cost: free.

The services outlined above can be grouped together, depending on how you wish to engage. A member of the Employer Engagement team will be able to assist you in determining the best course of action for you and your organisation’s needs.

If you are both a ‘New’ Employer and an SME, please note that the 50% discount will apply to any of the services you choose to use.

We hope that these new packages are of interest to you and would be more than happy to discuss with you how can benefit from the services we offer at UCL Careers. Please contact us on careers.events@ucl.ac.uk if you would like to talk about these in more depth. We look forward to hearing from you!
