FAQs

What is National Student Employment Week?

NASES organises national activity during National Student Employment Week, usually the last week in February, and work at a local and regional level is co-ordinated by job shops. Job shops organise jobs fairs, employer sessions, sector specific information days, skills workshops, competitions and much more during the week to highlight and promote the importance of student working. In addition to this the NASES national office organises a Virtual Jobs Fair.

What if I can't participate during that week?

Don't worry, NASES survey members each year to determine the most popular week to run the event which was chosen this year to run alongside Student Volunteering Week, although a the bulk of activity is happening during this week, if you organise events throughout the month of February this is fine.

What is the ‘Virtual Fair’?

The Virtual Fair aims to help students of all NASES member universities and colleges explore job opportunities with employers and organisations during National Student Employment Week. Over the years the fair has been running we've worked employers including high profile employers such as Pizza Hut, Thorpe Park, Eversheds, RBS, Ernst and Young, Cummins, Centrica, British Heart Foundation, KFC, Cancer Research, and Intercontinental Hotels.

Virtual fairs take place entirely on the web and allow students to:

• access information on employers and their job opportunities;
• seek advice from student employment service staff;
• submit online applications for opportunities.

How do I get my Job Shop involved in the Virtual Fair?

Simply link to the Virtual Fair site www.nases.org.uk/virtualFair. You can also encourage employers you work with to participate and register their organisations and job vacancies for free (except for direct sales and self-employed vacancies) with nases@liv.ac.uk
