Employing LAIBS students and graduates

Gaining work experience whilst at university is key to maximising your employment opportunities when you enter the graduate job market.

Some courses have integral work placements, we work closely with employers who offer short-term work experience (particularly in the summer months), colleagues in the Student Union operate a busy volunteering scheme, the Employment Bureau offers part-time work and the Employability and Careers team act as a link to employers seeking students to complete one-off projects or flexible employment.
