| BEIU -
Business Experience and International Unit |
If you are a Westminster Business School
(WBS) undergraduate student seeking a year-long placement, the BEIU
in the Registry Office can assist you in your search and can
provide you with academic and business employability support
throughout your year in industry.

| Volunteering |
Our Community Volunteering Unit
can help you to find voluntary work experience. This is an equally
useful way of developing the key skills that employers are looking
for. The majority of work experience in the media and caring
sectors is unpaid/voluntary and is essential for those looking
to develop a career in these sectors. In IT, where placements can
be scarce, carrying out IT work for a voluntary
organisation will certainly enhance your
CV. Law is another area, where valuable experience of
the legal process can be gained through volunteering. Current
vacancies can be found in the voluntary/unpaid work
experience list within the Careers and Student Employment Vacancy
Listings or CVU can work with you to identify
further opportunities. |
