If you / your institution is planning to introduce a student employment service, the preparation for introducing your service starts here. Below are the key points outlining the various types and range of Job Shop models to consider when deciding how to manage your service.
There is no uniform location for Job Shops within Instiutions, the two most popular locations are the Careers Centre (55%) and the Students Union (30%). However, other locations include retail, commercial, or student services, see below for a full list of where existing services are based;
Careers Services
Students’ Union
Student Services
Enterprise
Human Resources
Academic Schools
Commercially owned within one of the above.
Job centre style (non-charging) - using a method similar to Job Centre Plus - advertising a wide variety vacancies on notice boards and web sites which students apply for directly.
Job Centre and Charging - as above but making charges for these and additional recruitment services (for example jobs fairs)
Dual Service - Job Centre style services and supplying staff for on campus vacancies, with a fee generally to cover costs.
Commercial Agency operation - Commercial temporary employment agency service, just like a high street agency. A self financing model using operating at a profit offering temporary vacancies oth on and off campus.
NASES can put you in touch will other SES practitioners, ideally those managing a similar type of service, to help you voice any concerns and learn from their experience. You can also visit our service case studies to see some examples.
If you become a NASES member you will gain access to a range of resources found in the members-only sections of our website; regular access to members only email (jiscmail) and our newsletter all of which will aid you in dealing with these issues.
Before setting up your employment service, it is advantageous to form a steering group involving partners with departments on campus (HR; Student Services, Student Union Representative; Widening Participation; and Marketing); and relevant external organisations (Job Centre Plus; Chamber of Commerce representative; local FE colleges or 6th Form); this will ensure the new student employment service will be meeting the needs of the students, insitution, and local community.
