Information for employersThe Nottingham Advantage Award

The Nottingham Advantage Award is an exciting scheme designed to enhance the employability of students across all faculties of the University.

The Award gives you the opportunity to engage with our students through co-curricular modules relating to career planning, volunteering, enterprise, work experience, study abroad and more.

You can directly impact upon student employability through the provision of skills workshops, mock interviews, assessment panels, presentation feedback sessions, work experience opportunities or even designing your own module. You can also link campus engagement with Social Responsibility programmes through funding, module delivery, or sponsorship.
