Hire skilled graduates with help from the University of Plymouth
STEM Graduates into Business, part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and led by the University of Plymouth, provides access to recent graduates with fresh, innovative ideas and the drive to develop professionally. Employed as a paid-intern for either six or 12
months, it offers flexibility to small and medium businesses looking to meet current market demands. Recent research from the HoTSW LEP reveals that
nearly 98% of businesses in the region employ less than 50 people and that the lack of skills, particularly in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) related roles have been highlighted as a key barrier to productivity. Some Devon SMEs have also admitted to being unable to easily find and acquire the necessary talent to drive growth and innovation. STEM Graduates into Business aims to support businesses with overcoming these barriers by creating a cohort of graduate employing SMEs in the region.
