Northampton College has launched a pioneering matchmaking' service ' aimed at pairing job-hunting students with potential employers.
As part of the new scheme, students at the college's new-look Daventry campus will have the opportunity to work closely with local businesses and showcase their abilities to managers looking to recruit the workforce of the future.
The Enterprise Adviser' role has been funded by the South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP) and will see Craig Bartlett, a businessman who has held senior positions across industries including Travel & Hospitality, Finance, Manufacturing and IT in a 20-year career, working to help bring the business and education communities in Daventry closer together.
He said: I was fortunate enough to have a strong education but throughout my time at school and university, I never really had any visibility into what different jobs in different industries actually meant for me. I just knew I would end up getting a job!
