Expressions of Interest for Employers

Thank you for your interest in the Open University GROW programme

Thank you for your interest in hosting an Open University in Wales GROW graduate.

The GROW programme is financed by the Welsh Government, through the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) and supports individuals who have graduated during the pandemic, to access work experience to help the transition into employment in a more competitive job environment.

We are working with employers to provide paid (funded) work placement opportunities to graduates. Open University in Wales graduates are diverse and unique with valuable skills and experience. Due to often balancing their studies with other commitments including work, they have often developed skills in time-management, flexibility and commitment.

We are keen to offer our graduates a broad range of work experience placements, both virtual and workplace based. We also welcome opportunities that are flexible in working hours and duration. As an employer this also enables you to have increased flexibility in applying these work placements to your business requirements.

Please complete the form to tell us about your organisation. Once submitted, we will contact you so that we can support you with next steps and answer any questions you may have.

We look forward to working with you!
