Notice Title

641 - Employer Engagement Prospecting

Notice Description

Aston University is seeking support from a telemarketing agency with experience in the field of Further Education. From multi-nationals to local SMEs, Aston has a long history of collaborating with businesses to drive innovation and make real change. We offer a wide range of business services with a proven track record of success - it's one of the reasons why we've been named University of the Year 2020 by The Guardian. Working in tandem with organisations across the public, private and third sector and entrepreneurs, we drive innovation, productivity and growth in the economy by providing talent, training and technical consultancy services. Based in Birmingham city centre, Aston has three main colleges: Engineering and Physical Sciences, Business and Social Sciences and Health and Life Sciences (which includes a relatively new Medical School). Our taught courses are designed with employers in mind, and we develop graduates that can hit the ground running when they start work with the skills that employers are looking for. The placement year is part of our DNA and over 1700 students complete a work placement in the third year of their degree programme before returning to Aston to complete their final year when they start looking for their first graduate-level job. Our award-winning Careers and Placements team provide advice and guidance to students all-year round and they are often able to match student talent with vacancies that employers are looking to fill. In addition to helping employers to source new talent, we help train their employees with our growing portfolio of degree apprenticeships in leadership, digital, technical engineering, research science, supply chain, transport planning and hearing care. We have enrolled over 1600 apprentices over the last 8 years with over 340 employer partners and aim to recruit 700 learners this year.
