Would you like to help our students explore the graduate job market? Would you like to promote your early careers opportunities to a diverse and engaged group of students?
Usually an overview of the organisation, some speakers or a panel discussion, followed by an opportunity to ask questions and network. A group activity or tour also helps to make a visit particularly memorable.
All students are undergraduates in year 1, 2 or 3. Based on previous participants, the subject split is 52% STEM, 24% Business, Economics or Finance, and 24% Humanities. 61% are female, 29% are in receipt of a bursary and 57% are from BAME backgrounds.
The selection process, training and communications to students are handled by the Programme Coordinator, who will also support you in creating a suitable agenda. You will receive the students’ course and year in advance of the day, followed by a full demographic breakdown and feedback after the visit.
We run QTaster three times each academic year on the months below. We have a different cohort of students each round so some organisations host more than one visit per academic year.
100% of hosts said they would recommend the programme to other organisations.
Previous visits include ASOS, Barclays, Bloomberg, Bouygues UK, British Heart Foundation, Business Science, Capco, Entrepreneur First, FDM Group, IBM, ING, Knight Frank, KPMG, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Mazars, Microsoft, MThree Consulting, Octopus, Post Office, Salesforce, Springer Nature, TOPDesk, UBS and Wellcome Trust.
The most beneficial part of hosting a visit has been:
“Meeting some very engaged and enthusiastic bright undergraduates.”
“Seeing students saw us as a potential employer in the future.”
“Having an engaging opportunity to interact with students and deliver a focused session.”
“Hearing that the experience was genuinely useful for the students involved.”
“Very good engaged students, asked excellent questions.”
“The opportunity to bring what we do as an organisation to life.”
