Careers and Employability Centre is not a placement service: we help and support students in their job search but we do not place students in a job directly. Earning money and part-time work: around 300 plus jobs only on campus each year and we advertise around 1,500 part-time, work experience paid opportunities each year and 2000 graduate jobs.
