Services to staff
Our team of qualified careers professionals works with students at all stages of their degree programmes and encourages them to make use of our services early on in their studies. However, we recognise that you will often be a port of call for questions on placements, references, employment options post-degree and so on.
This page aims to help you answer those questions. Additionally, your Department has a named Careers Adviser contact who will be pleased to work with you to support careers provision for your students.
For more suggestions of how we can work with you, have a look at our best practice guide and read about bespoke activities for departments below.
Ways we can help you:
- We regularly provide bespoke careers sessions in departments. Some of our more popular offerings centre on preparing for placements and post-graduation employment – CVs, applications, interviews, aptitude tests etc. However we also run events showcasing career options, and workshops on choosing a career. These sessions will always be designed with the needs of your particular students in mind and can be scheduled at the most appropriate times for each year group.
- We have excellent relationships with employers and would be happy to work with you to provide tailored employer-led workshops on occupational choice, recruitment methods or specific employability skills like team-working. Our long history of working successfully with local and national employers means we can deliver events with the employers your students want to work for.
- For those students who are considering
course changes
or
facing disappointing results, we offer a confidential and impartial
guidance service. - We have a network of Bath graduates willing to speak to your students about working in a wide variety of occupations.
- To assist you in marketing your courses, and your students in
making career choices, we collate information on graduate destinations
for all courses. See our destinations
webpages for links to individual
courses and years; for further information please contact our Destinations
Survey Manager, Jayne Hacker.
Read more about destinations data. - We encourage you to link to our range of guides, helpsheets and
webpages from your website and Moodle pages. You can download helpsheets
to reproduce hard copies, or in some cases we can provide these.
To check which materials suit your needs (and to keep us informed about links to us) please contact Lizzie Bird , ext. 5785.
