At our Volunteering and Summer Opportunities Fair, we'll have charities, businesses and organisations from across the UK and overseas from various sectors. Some are looking for volunteers, others are offering paid summer opportunities, including Go Global schemes like Camp America.
It is a great time to be interested in the green sector, as green jobs are growing at around four times the rate of the overall UK labour market.
In 2023, LJMU ran their first Green Skills and Jobs Fair, inviting a range of organisations to meet LJMU students and graduates.
If you are interested in building a career in the green sector, then we recommend talking to people already working in this field.
Are you motivated to improve your understanding of sustainability and build specialist skills and knowledge for your future career?
Self-employment can be well suited to disabled or neurodivergent students and graduates, if you find it difficult to keep up with traditional work.
There are a number of initiatives and organisations that support employers to ensure that their recruitment process and working practices do not discriminate against jobseekers and employees with a disability or long-term health condition.
If you have accessed support for your disability or health condition throughout school and university, e.g. in the form of a support plan or funding, you might be concerned about similar support being available to you in the workplace.
Each scholarship funding is for three years of a full-time PhD degree programme, and includes tuition fees, a tax-free maintenance stipend of around £18,622 per annum (rising in line with URKI rates) and additional research costs of up to £1,600 per year.
LJMU’s varied programme of professional development courses offers individuals and organisations a range of opportunities to enable professional people to develop their career prospects and meet business objectives in a way that doesn't interfere with their working life.
