In today’s competitive job market, employers are more likely to recruit graduates who have gained work experience alongside their studies and the experience and skills you gain can boost your CV and future job applications.
Where to find student jobs and volunteering opportunities
The Centre for Graduate Prospects team can advertise part-time student jobs, vacation work, volunteering and other work opportunities in person at one of our Employability and Enterprise Hubs in the Gateway (City Campus), Prospect Building (St Peters Campus) or online via: go.sunderland.ac.uk/hub.
What’s on offer
Part-time Jobs: If you’re in need of extra cash you can consider working while studying. As well as boosting your finances, a part-time job can help you develop skills and experience which you can demonstrate to employers.
Volunteering: is a great way to give back to good causes and make a positive contribution to society. It can be personally rewarding and enhances your CV, and also offers you an invaluable opportunity to gain the skills needed to pursue certain career options.
