Current students and recent graduates (for up to 6 months after graduation) are now able to apply for the Huddersfield Employability Fund. 

The Huddersfield Employability Fund is focused around five key aims, which are to enable students to

1. Access networking opportunities
2. Access unpaid opportunities
3. Develop skills
4. Enhance global awareness
5. Prepare for, and attend, interviews and assessment centres

What can you use it for?

The purpose of the fund is to provide discretionary grants to any student, or recent graduate, who needs it to develop their career and employability skills. There are some examples below illustrating what this could include, but any reasonable application for funds will be considered.

• Contribution to travel and subsistence costs for attending job interviews, undertaking unpaid work experience, and volunteering.
• Attendance to short courses that improve employability, e.g. boosting confidence, assertiveness, leadership.
• Studio time or workshop space to add to a portfolio.
• Specialised software or equipment, e.g. recording equipment to help Media students who wish to be self-employed.
• Setting up website to showcase work.
• Help purchasing appropriate clothing for interviews.
• Acquiring GCSE Maths, English and Science.

How to apply for the fund?

Unfortunately, applications for the Huddersfield Employability Fund have now closed for this academic year.

Details of funding for the academic year 2019/20 will be published at the start of term, September 2019, so please check back with us then.
