Help us build enterprising futures, together.
At LSBU we inspire and support our students and graduates to create their own futures - by growing their skills, taking opportunities and being truly enterprising.
But enterprise isn’t just about starting a business. It’s about developing the kind of skills, thinking and actions that make you stand out from the crowd. We support our students and graduates into inspiring and rewarding work, whatever form that may take.
And you can help. But our students can also help you, and your business.
Over the last academic year approximately 4,500 LSBU students and graduates engaged in enterprise-related activities, including 60 students registering new innovations, demonstrating their commitment to starting or growing their own businesses.
Hire our graduates
Employability has been celebrated at LSBU since 1892. Our students benefit from our relationship with industry and how we build insights from our research into course content. In such a competitive graduate job market, we give our students the edge you need.
Fill your permanent vacancies
As an employer you can post your vacancies on our university job board without charge, putting your latest opportunity in front of all our current students and recent graduates.
Organisations that offer exclusive opportunities and on-campus activities can also access our talent pool, making recruitment simpler and giving you a higher profile as a recognised partner.
Invest in apprenticeships
Designed to match the needs of employers with the skills and ambitions of an applicant, apprenticeships naturally benefit both your business and your new employee.
Driven by industry demand, our higher and degree level apprenticeships come with rigorous entry requirements, and connect universities, employers, professional bodies and apprentices in a formal relationship that meets the skills needs of the economy.
With access to a pot of money (the levy) held by the Government, apprenticeships are a cost-effective way for organisations to develop existing staff, hire fresh talent, and potentially change someone’s life.
Raise your profile
Focused on health, social justice and sustainability in an increasingly digital world, our research centres are beacons of excellence and innovation, working with our research groups and industry to deliver an international reputation for results and real-world impact.
Includes: addictive behaviours, health and social care, (bio)engineering, social justice, creative technologies, cognitive systems, energy, sport, Net Zero and more.
Place our students
We're always keen to connect with organisations who can help our students apply what they learn in the real-world, whilst at the same time helping you meet your own business needs.
Placements and internships are a perfect starting point, with many benefits.
We're especially keen to develop opportunities for LSBU students to work with local SMEs and start-ups, supporting the growth of this fast-growing sector while giving our students a taste of what it really takes to run a business.
Inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs
Access to inspiring industry contacts with great insights and relevant skills is a crucial part of our student and graduate offer, so you can make all the difference.
We work with a growing network of entrepreneurs, start-up experts, established businesses and social enterprises. We drive our student and graduate entrepreneurs to be innovative, whether they start a new business, work as freelancers or gain regular employment.
Our partners share their knowledge, experience and creativity with our student entrepreneurs every day.
We are always looking to grow our network. Could you be next to inspire our future leaders?
