Access Extra Skills, Capacity & New Ideas

Rushcliffe Business Partnership are working with Nottingham Trent University to support local businesses and give young people an opportunity to gain new skills.

Students can support short-term projects, research, marketing, digital development and business improvement activities.

There are lots of reasons for taking on a student, here are just a few for your consideration:

  • Extra resource for projects and business growth
  • Access emerging talent and future recruits
  • Bring fresh skills, digital expertise and new perspectives
  • Flexible placements designed around your business needs
  • Support local talent and strengthen your community impact

If you do not have any employees, this is a great way of testing whether this would be a good next step for your business. If you already have a team and want to bring in some extra resource and ideas, then getting involved with this scheme will make a difference to you and your business.

Placements are flexible - and can be designed around the business need to determine working patterns and duration.

These can be offered to:

  • Current students as internships
  • Graduates
  • T-Level students as part of their vocational training

Placements can be tailored for businesses of all sizes, from micro businesses to larger employers.
