A better way to build your future workforce

Every employer's recruitment needs are different.

Some need graduates who are ready to start now. Others want to build relationships with future talent long before they enter the job market. Many are looking for both.

Our employer partnerships are designed around three stages of the talent pipeline, allowing you to engage with learners at the point that best supports your recruitment strategy.

Graduate Talent Access

Recruit students and graduates who are ready to launch their careers.

Whether you're recruiting for internships, placements or permanent graduate opportunities, we'll connect you with students who have developed industry-relevant skills through specialist education.

Our recruitment services help you:

  • Advertise opportunities to targeted student audiences
  • Meet candidates through careers fairs and recruitment events
  • Run assessment centres with support from our employer engagement team
  • Build awareness of your organisation among future graduates

Early Talent Identification

Engage promising students before they enter the job market.

The strongest talent pipelines begin long before graduation.

By working with students through live industry experiences, you'll identify high-potential individuals, increase awareness of your employer brand and build relationships with future recruits before your competitors do.

Whether through work placements, mentoring or industry projects, you'll help shape the next generation while gaining valuable insight into emerging talent.

Discover the next generation of graduates by:

  • Testing students’ capabilities and try-before-you-hire with work placements
  • Mentoring undergraduate students to build your personal coaching skills
  • Setting industry project briefs to gain Gen Z insights on business challenges

Emerging Talent Pipeline

Develop new talent from day one through early career apprenticeships.

Apprenticeships provide a direct route to bringing motivated early-career talent into your organisation while developing the skills your business needs.

We support employers to recruit and train entry-level apprentices across specialist fashion, retail and beauty roles, combining practical workplace experience with industry-led learning.

Whether you're building teams for today or planning for future growth, apprenticeships create a sustainable pipeline of skilled employees.

You can start building a skills-focused pipeline through:

  • Early-career apprenticeships
  • Apprenticeship units
