Source your future talent

The government is establishing high-quality institutes of technology (IoTs). Aston University is a partner in the Greater Birmingham & Solihull IoT, which was successful in its application through a government-led competition.

The 6-12 month placement programme has proved attractive to employers who benefit from exceptional students in a short term, relatively risk-free and cost effective way. You will have a wide talent bank to choose from as over 70% of our students take a work or study placement in the UK and abroad.

With hands on practical work experience, and key transferrable skills of team working, communication and problem solving embedded throughout their studies, we ensure our students are ready for the workplace. You can be assured that an Aston graduate will make a positive and lasting contribution to your team.

Do you require seasonable workers or talented individuals to complete work all year round on a part time basis? Our dedicated team, who specialise in matching the right students to your business needs, can help you and your business.

A challenge for many businesses is raising their profile amongst the student body and attracting the best applicants. At Aston, we have a team ready to help promote your company and target the right students for you, including a variety of events on campus, online presence and promotion via our student newsletters.

Why wait until graduation to meet our students? Immerse yourself in our industry clubs and shape the content we deliver to suit the skills you require. Meet our students along the way to ‘scout for talent’ by offering placement and graduate positions.
