UNITE with Business – University of Cumbria

The Unite with Business project offers small to medium sized businesses (SME’s) a business support programme, to increase business innovation, performance and productivity.

Business support is provided via graduates and final year university undergraduate students. These individuals work within the businesses for a period of 20 days, with the nature of the work being to address a skills or resource shortage within the company. Examples of work include designing or re-designing a website, developing a communications or marketing strategy or even prototyping a new product.

The graduate or student will be sourced with business needs as a priority, thus possessing the skills required to undertake the task. All graduates, final year undergraduates, regardless of university of origin, are considered eligible for consideration.

UNITE with business could provide up to four weeks help at NO COST to you.

Working with your business we can

  • Help source a suitable recent graduate or student for your needs
  • Support you to ensure that the student achieves the best for your business
  • Administer and pay them for up to four weeks to undertake work on your project.
