Taste of Work
Are you wanting to gain a little experience or an understanding of working in an environment here at LTSU?
We are offering students the opportunity to dedicate 12 hours of their time over a period of one month with us on a voluntary basis and for this you will gain an introduction into LTSU and experience of working in a certain area and alongside our staff. This can then help you understand more about LTSU and the role that you are sampling but also be a great addition to your CV.
We will then at the end of each term host a LTSU Taste of Work Graduation event whereby all participants will be invited to attend and will be given a certificate of achievement presented to them by our Student President / Vice President and our CEO. There will of course be celebratory drinks provided for you.
So, do you want to try your hand in retail, bars, or marketing?
Email student.union@leedstrinity.ac.uk to express your interest and we will be in touch to discuss further with you and arrange your tasting.
