Profile Raising Through Sponsorship
All Careers Service events, activities and publications are heavily promoted to our students via email, our website and paper publicity. Sponsors are given prominent and positive mention whenever we promote the provision with which they are involved – and with 26,000 students studying at Sheffield that can mean a lot of publicity!
Sponsorship can result in opportunities not made available to other employers:
- Additional advertising opportunities e.g. prime advertising sites in brochures, websites and mentions on campus-wide email messages.
- First choice of prime stand locations if you sponsor a recruitment or information event.
- Additional links to your organisation’s website.
- First refusal on the continuation of your sponsorship for a further year.
