UHI Inverness part-time jobs fair to connect employers with students and public 

STUDENTS and members of the public who are seeking part-time work will be able to connect with local employers at a campus job recruitment event later this month

UHI Inverness is hosting its annual Part-Time Jobs Fair on Wednesday, 13 November from 10am to 2pm to allow those who are looking for employment that fits around their studies and lifestyle to meet businesses with current vacancies.

The fair in the campus atrium will allow students and visitors to explore part-time job openings, course information and potential career pathways. The event is being organised by the Student Support Team at UHI Inverness to match people who want to earn money in their free time with employers recruiting staff at a busy time of year.

Laurie Symon, a Personal Development Advisor who works in the Student Support Team, said:

“By highlighting the opportunities for part-time work and allowing people to network with potential employers, we hope this event will benefit our students, the wider community and the local business, retail, care and hospitality sectors.

“The fair is open to everyone, and we hope it will encourage people to visit our campus to find out about how they can not only find work, but also increase their employability skills through full or part-time study at UHI Inverness.”

Working part time while studying has many advantages. It allows students to earn extra money, gain transferable and interpersonal skills, learn to manage their time and money and grow in confidence.

Career advice and job recruitment to aid student professional development is an important element of the service the UHI Inverness Student Support Team offers students.

The employers signed up to attend the networking opportunity represent the care, hospitality and retail sectors. They will be able to answer questions about working with them, talk about the roles available and the application process.
