Help influence the Aquaculture curriculum at the University of the Highlands and Islands

Get in touch with the University of the Highlands and Islands’ Curriculum Development Employer Engagement team to help influence our Aquaculture related curriculum. There are a number of ways that businesses of all shapes and sizes can interact with students and staff, including:

• Offering student/graduate placements, internships or work experience opportunities
• Delivering presentations or participating in seminar and workshop programmes
• Collaborating with students by offering employer-led projects or case studies
• Collaborating with staff in an advisory capacity to ensure the curriculum is informed by businesses and industry

We also have a smashing new platform called Future Me where you can advertise your vacancies, graduates or other student opportunities. It is free and you can register your organisation here.

There are many benefits to your company to collaborate with our students and graduates including:

• Access to a wider talent pool for recruitment
• Access to bright new ideas from motivated students and graduates
• Raising awareness of your organisation and any opportunities available
• Addressing short-term support/work needs – shorter placements or temporary interns can be a key resource
• Influencing the quality and preparedness of people coming into the labour market
• Well-informed succession planning and workforce development
• Giving back to the community by supporting students/graduates in their development and preparation for work
• Helping to shape the curriculum so it is relevant to your needs as an employer
