Frontrunners

What is the Frontrunners project?

Frontrunners is the University's unique placement scheme which gives students the opportunity to undertake meaningful employment around campus and develop the higher-level skills necessary to compete for the best jobs.

The scheme is open to all University of Essex students, offers on-the-job training, and is paid. Placements are between 3 and 12 months in length and up to 12 hours per week.

Frontrunners also supports students in developing their ability to reflect on and articulate the skills they have acquired.

Call for staff applications

We are currently accepting applications from staff for placements that will run over the summer.

Placements can start from 5th July 2010 and must finish no later than 24th September 2010.

Summer placements allow students to work for 16 to 20 hours per week.

The deadline for staff applications is Friday 19th February 2010. To apply please use the application form on this website.
