Fresh talent
Your business can benefit from the enthusiasm and expertise of today’s students on a short or long-term basis. In-company placements range from approximately six weeks to two or three years, and they provide an excellent opportunity to develop a relationship with a student who may eventually become a permanent member of your team. Many students are looking to work on live projects with companies, and you may have a problem that an enthusiastic student would love to solve. A particularly successful scheme is the “Knowledge Transfer Partnership“http://www.ktponline.org.uk. High calibre graduates tackle specific tasks or projects to inject new knowledge into an organisation or business, improving service delivery and developing potential employees of the future.
Government statistics show that on average each KTP project provides the business with over £150,000 a year in pre-tax profits.
