On Campus Agency Update

Back in November (?) Guild Council I put a motion to support the establishment of a Guild run Job Agency.

We have been working hard to make this a reality and a model has been agreed and will be written into next years budget.

Students will apply to the agency through Jobzone recruitment, and will be trained courtesy of the Guild. A new member of staff in Jobzone will be responsible for finding these students temporary work. All of the employers will have to go through an accreditation process in order to recruit through the agency, will be subject to continuous scrutiny and will be expected to be demonstrably responsive to our feedback.

To begin with, we are going to trial the model with on campus jobs, and as the agency develops there will be scope for external employers too. Hopefully everything will be good to go in September so look out for it next freshers!
