Connecting Students With Organisations
To Achieve Successful Outcomes
OUR MISSION
The Student Partnerships mission is to connect students in higher education with individuals and organisations in order to help solve their business problems. A problem can be quite clear and well-defined or something to explore. Organisations can be large or small, well established or still in their infancy, for-profit or not-for-profit; educational or community based.
There are three areas in which Student Partnerships makes these connections:
The restriction is that projects can only be run during the teaching periods of the educational institution and for a student the project will be one of several subjects that they are studying. The great majority of these projects have had very satisfactory outcomes.
This could be a great opportunity for micro, start-up & small businesses and community groups.
Once we engage with your business we talk to you and determine:
- Skills sets for graduates to be developed
- Projects to be worked on
- The business ethos and culture of your organisation
- Graduates spend 2 days per week with us and 3 days with your staff
- The business provides projects for the graduates. This will provide useful outcomes for your business while immersing the graduates in your business and its people and help assimilate them into the organisation.
Students/graduates can refine their professional communication and language skills in a risk-free environment by having the opportunity to practice in a job interview simulations. Through repetitive practice and varied experiences, you will be fully prepared for formal interviews.
Students/ graduates have access to thousands of unique job interview experiences with varying levels of difficulty, with industry/role specific questions that may be asked in the Job Interview Simulations.
WHY MIGHT I BE INTERESTED IN A PROJECT?
Students and recent graduates have a great deal of up to date knowledge, enthusiasm and creativity. All our project teams are closely supervised by experienced people who maintain a professional approach to the work and to client interaction with a view to achieving great outcomes for everyone.

WEBSITE, MARKETING & SOCIAL MEDIA
These are among the most requested projects by our clients. A website is an essential part of a business in the digital age. If you don’t have one at all yet or if your old website is looking tired and out of date this is an opportunity to improve your presence. If you don’t have a marketing or social media plan, then this is opportunity to do so – and combine it with a new website!
BUSINESS ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATIONS
How and/or where can I expand my business internationally? How does my organisation, product or service compare with my competitors? Where are the bottlenecks in my business processes? How can it be automated? What’s the best way to contact and survey my clients? I need CRM software, but which one is the best one for me? These are the sorts of questions our students can help you solve.
AND MORE...
Our students have a diverse range of backgrounds such as Information Systems, Marketing, Finance, Accounting and so on. These skills be combined and applied effectively in areas which may otherwise be very specialised e.g. engineering, health, social sciences, the arts and so on. In fact, many of our projects have been conducted with clients who have worked in specialised areas.
