Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance

We are always looking to further develop our Careers programme and engage with more employers. Here are some ways in which you could get involved:

• Run a workshop about your job/industry/pathway to employment
• Talk to students taking a subject that links to your career
• Conduct mock interviews
• Offer work placements
• Offer work shadowing
• Take students on a tour of your workplace.

To offer your support, or for further details of how you could get involved, contact our Careers Lead, Philippa Dickinson (Director of Student Services) on 0151 551 7777 or by email on This email address is being protected from spambots.

Alternatively, Apprenticeships are an exciting option for both apprentice and employer.

You can employ apprentices at different levels, from school leavers and university graduates, to adults who want to further their careers or change career direction completely.

You can hire someone new or upskill an existing employee, and as an employer, you can get funding from the government to help pay for apprenticeship training.

If you are interested in taking on an Apprentice but would like to trial how this could work for your business, then why not consider a Traineeship? A traineeship gives you the chance to take someone on, on a short-term basis (min 70 hours over 2+ weeks) without having to pay them a salary, so that you can see how they fit with your team(s), before committing to taking them on as an apprentice.

Our experienced Business Development Officers can advise on apprenticeships, training and funding options which will help your business to develop the skills of your workforce further. Our aim is to assist businesses in becoming more productive and profitable, as well as attracting and maintaining a motivated team of staff, with the strength of training expertise and business knowledge, to help your business prosper.

We also offer short courses to upskill your employees, improve productivity and enhance retention. They can be delivered at your workplace, remotely or on our campus.
