We offer a user-friendly career service in higher education, connecting employers like you with talented students and graduates from Abertay. Get in touch to explore collaboration opportunities.
Our students are actively encouraged to undertake work experience - like work placements - to improve their employability. They are highly motivated and enthusiastic, eager to develop their workplace skills and enhance their commercial awareness. They come from a wide range of backgrounds, offering many different skills and experiences.
If you'd like to offer an opportunity to a student, or talk about other types of work-related activities, please contact us.

Please read our guidelines on advertising vacancies and our Employers Privacy Policy before posting your opportunities.
Placements are a 'win-win' situation for you and the student.
You help contribute to the community by giving something back from a social and economic perspective. Your organisation benefits from a piece of work or a project the student completes. There is no salary needed - all we ask for is a short report at the end of the placement period.
You also gain first-hand knowledge of the student’s skills and abilities. Many find our students so useful that they offer full-time employment after graduation or a part-time/summer job.
Placements can vary from one day a week to a short-term full-time placement.
If you have a project or other opportunity you would like to offer to a student, please contact us and we will put you in touch with our specialist work placement advisors.
Each year we run a careers mentoring programme. It is designed to help students improve their personal and professional skills, and prepare them for the world of work.
Participants are matched to mentors based on their course and career interests. The programme runs for six months, from November through to May.
If you would like to get involved as a mentor, please contact us.

Internships are a period of paid work experience, offered by an organisation for a fixed timescale.
They are completed over the summer (typically between the 3rd and 4th year) or after graduation. Internships can help companies acquire industry skills and build a network of contacts.
