Placement Briefing Slides
Briefing slides from the April sessions
Jess Ford (SHU placement student) and her visit to Richard Branson' House
As the placement student at the Sheffield Hallam Enterprise Centre, I was given the opportunity to visit Richard Branson's house last week. I was invited by Michael Overton, a student supported by the Hatchery team, who had entered a Virgin Pioneers competition with his business idea. He was shortlisted to a group of 8 people down from 500 entrants which gave him and one guest the opportunity to visit Richard Branson's house and to network with his top 100 investors.

Graduate jobs 'taken by work experience students
  More than a third of jobs for new graduates are taken by people who have already had work experience with that employer, according to the latest update on the graduate jobs market. The report from High Fliers Research shows that employers are recruiting more graduates - but there are record numbers of graduates chasing jobs. Employers are reporting a 19% average increase in applications. Those without any work experience have "little or no chance", says the report.
