EMPLOYERS
The Opportunities Service is the new name for the University of Lincoln Careers Service. We are here to provide our students with the information, advice and guidance required to produce highly employable graduates in an increasingly competitive labour market. In order to achieve this vision we would like to recruit the assistance of those that know, namely you the employer. In return we offer a range of services that may be of interest, ranging from recruitment, selection, and facilities.
How can we help you?Below are a range of services that we offer that can help you and your business. If there are any questions or additional services that you require then please contact us and we will endeavour to meet your needs…
*BRAND NEW* Graduate Internship SchemeThe University of Lincoln has been successful in a bid to secure funding for a number of graduate internships across Lincolnshire. The scheme is designed to support key growth sector businesses of any size. However, if you are a small business of less than 50 employees you will automatically be eligible regardless of sector. To find out more, click here.
A Gateway Into The University…We can be an essential point of contact to access the specialist facilities at the university and the specialist knowledge and abilities of our academics and students.

Raising Your Profile and Contributing to the ServiceThere is a range of ways that you can help us to help our students whilst also raising your organisations profile. Below are a few examples, but we are happy to discuss any new and innovative ways that you would like to do this…
Employability Mentoring…Students have great potential but sometimes need help in recognising this. This is your chance to influence graduate employability, contribute to the local economy, raise the profile of your company, and potentially nurture your employees of the future.
Events…Do you want to be involved in any of our wide ranging events on campus or are you holding any events that you would like promoting? We can offer the opportunity to be involved in such events or advertise events on your behalf, raising the profile of your company.
Presentations…Want to raise your profile? We can offer you the opportunity to present your industry, company, and opportunities to students.
Workshops…If you want to get to know the students better and work with a smaller audience then may be you would prefer to run student workshops.
Student Drop-in Stand…If you want to meet our students informally, and raise your company's profile we can offer you the opportunity to set up an information stand in a high profile location on campus.
Podcasts and Vidcasts…We are looking to develop our website and would like to include a series of Podcasts and Vidcasts from employers on topical issues relating to graduate employability. If you feel you could provide some useful information, tips and advice for our undergraduates to succeed, and would be willing to be filmed/ recorded then we would like to hear from you.
Interested…For more detailed information on any of the above and/ or to arrange a mutually convenient meeting to discuss your company's requirements, please contact:
