Funded Graduate Placements
A survey of SMEs undertaken in the East Midlands has shown that the recruitment of recent graduates is a minority pursuit - just 11% of SMEs had taken on a recent graduate in the past 12 months and only 12% indicated they would do so in the next 12 months1.
Future Factory aims to increase these figures by offering a 25% subsidy towards the salary of a graduate employed by your business. For further information please download our eligibility criteria.
Nottingham Trent University has an excellent reputation for the caliber of its graduates and is one of the top rated Universities in the UK for the employability of its students2.
Our post graduate students combine this level of employability with the intellectual, technical, and academic expertise necessary to:
- engage with your business
- commit to project work
- assist it on its journey towards a more sustainable future.
This subsidy is available to all graduates, not just graduates of Nottingham Trent University.
If you cannot commit to employing a graduate why not take advantage of NTU’s wide range of postgraduate programmes. We have a large number of enthusiastic graduate students working alongside academic experts looking for placements in business and industry. Future Factory can provide the link, and match your requirements with their knowledge, contact us to find out more.
