Mentoring programmes (MBA/MSc)
Our mentoring schemes aim to further enhance students’ employability skills, through a partnership with a member of the University’s alumni. Just a few hours of your time over the course of an academic year would make a real difference to a student. Mentoring enables students to put their theoretical knowledge into practice, gain experience in networking and expand their professional contacts whilst boosting their self-esteem and confidence when dealing with senior-level colleagues.
Guest speakers
The Management School always welcomes alumni to campus to talk to undergraduate, MSc, or MBA students. We welcome alumni at all stages of their careers to talk about a breadth of subjects. It doesn’t matter what stage in your career you’re at, be it at a junior level to talk to undergraduates about how you made the jump from university to the world of business, or managing director/chief executive level. These sessions give you the opportunity to meet excellent potential employees and raise the profile of your own organisation. We are happy to try new formats, from presentations, and student roundtables to Q&A sessions. We recently held our first guest speaker session over Skype, so do get in touch, wherever you are!
Host a webinar
Could you, with the help of the Management School, host a webinar, offering your insights/new way of thinking about a business issue?
Alumni Representation at International Recruitment Events
The University of Liverpool attends numerous international recruitment events and potential students really value the chance to talk to alumni. It does not matter at what stage in your career you are or how many events you can attend. You can volunteer your time by assisting staff on recruitment stands and holding discussions with prospective students about how you have used your university experience to progress in your career.
Organise a reunion or drinks meetup to engage with fellow members of the alumni community
With over 20,000 graduates spread across the world, we have a vast alumni network. Get in touch if you are interested in holding an informal alumni gathering. You could meet over a coffee, at an exhibition, in a bar or even over dinner and could involve two of you or 20, it really doesn’t matter!
MBA Placements
Could your company benefit from a fresh pair of eyes? Do you have an area of interest that you’d like to explore further but simply don’t have the resource?
Our high-performing MBA students are available to help with no charge to your business; they can answer a straightforward query or provide a basic diagnostic service like the market analysis. We draw from our top MBA students, with their diverse skills, utilising their previous work experience and current studies. The student will work on an agreed project, which can vary in nature depending on your needs. The output will form part of the student’s final mark.
Graduate Vacancies
You can recruit students to your organisation through the Careers and Employability Service. There is a range of different ways to be involved, from advertising your graduate job vacancies online to participating in Career Fairs on campus.
Micro Virtual Internships (MVI)
Want to tap into the latest thinking, new ideas and fresh perspectives? The University of Liverpool Management School is offering access to our talented post-graduate business students through our Micro Virtual Internships.
