Employability
First-line employability support
In February 2017, Middlesex University became the 13th UK institution to join Unitemps. This is a unique franchise model that offers students an on-campus recruitment agency dedicated to finding them paid, part-time work within their own University. This aligns perfectly with Middlesex’s mission to give all students the opportunities and tools they need to turn their potential into career success. Next year the University will launch the external programme, which helps to recruit students into roles within the local business community, offering an even wider pool of flexible positions and placements.
Unitemps is part of MDXworks, the new-look employability service. The on-campus space in the College Building was completely refurbished and is now a student- centred drop-in zone where students can receive support with developing their employability skills and career development. Students also have access to online support and advice which is available to them for life, as are workshops and networking sessions offered after graduation.
BSc Biology undergraduate Samantha Atkinson spent a work placement with Essex Wildlife Trust, helping with woodland management and conservation activities such as habitat improvement, wood processing and a crucial survey of the Hazel Dormouse.
Emmanuel Keboh spent 12 months as a technology intern in software development at Goldman Sachs. He spent his placement writing front-end and back-end software and designing systems for them to run on.
Preparing students for the workplace Teams across the University are working together to increase employer engagement, focusing on placement and internship activity, as these experiences are invaluable for preparing students for the workplace. Middlesex has formed strong relationships with a range of businesses, and aims to build on these moving forward.
