Extra-Curricular Work Opportunity
Extra-Curricular Work Opportunities
Students who are looking for shorter workplace learning alternatives will often choose to seek opportunities at times when they are not required in the University or over the summer. The opportunities available are vast and can be in the UK or overseas. These may be structured or non-structured and often take place over a number of weeks.
Extra curricula opportunities, offers students the experience to find out what working in an industry is like. This is also allows them to utilise the time when they are not studying to enhance their career prospects by improving their CV. University of Lincoln students have successfully completed extra curricula activities with organisations including Dyson, United Lincolnshire Health Trust, Lincolnshire Action Trust, Inzpire, Calibre Scientific, Applied Tech Systems, Anglian Water and Capital One.
I wanted to add industry experience to my CV so that I can stand out from the crowd. I understand that the job market is very competitive and having industry experience will benefit me a lot. Being able to learn a range of skills in a real working environment is a great opportunity to further myself before my final year of university.
