The University of Leicester is holding three relaxed and informative networking events for businesses in certain sectors.
Our aim is to inform you of the various engagement points that may be relevant to your business, and allow free and informal networking amongst B2B and the University to business.
These are free to attend. Refreshments provided.
What could the University possibly offer me?
- The University of Leicester actively seeks companies to engage with our students, services and research projects on a regular basis.
- Our courses are not valuable or relevant unless they combine academia with the real world of work, industry and commerce. Working with or employing our students is one way to ensure academia and industry unify.
- It need not be complicated, and it is not expensive. In fact many of our services are free or we can provide some funding. Placement students are very cost effective.
- Whether you are a small or big business, we would like to discuss ways in which we can work together to support your growth and give our students experience of industry.
- Some of the engagement opportunities are: Student projects, internships and placement, collaborative research, business consultancy and technical support.
