A UNIVERSITY is looking to the US for tips on how to make a recruitment week a success.
Durham University's Job Shop service is among those taking part in National Student Employment Week, next weekend.
The service, which belongs to the National Association of Student Employment Staff (Nases), is receiving support from the National Council for Work Experience as part of the initiative, involving activities up and down the country.
A Job Shop spokesman said the week was inspired by a similar initiative in the US.
"There is not as much backing as that given to National Student Employment Week in the States, where the event receives presidential endorsement and financial support from one of America's largest corporations, United Parcel Services," he said.
"But the Job Shop hopes that this small step will help students in the future to find employment with local firms, which will mutually benefit both."
Local companies interested in using the Job Shop, free of charge, should contact Christine Mordue at 49 New Elvet, Durham, DH1 3PF, on 0191-374 3329, or email Durham.Jobshopac.uk
