Staff support secures student success

Tutors can provide their students with useful careers advice and guidance which can be enormously valuable once they have finished gaining their qualification.

In fact, having access to such expertise is another benefit of formal study and, for adults returning to learning, teaching staff can be an invaluable source of advice, support and motivation.

One area in which tutors can provide invaluable support is by recommending useful work experience and voluntary placements which can help them gain employment once they have graduated. Their knowledge of their industries can be a vital aid to those hoping to find work within difficult fields.

Shadowing and work experience placements can be of particular use within competitive sectors such as journalism and fashion design, where employers often seek experience as well as qualifications.
