Potential employers Business and Management
OU qualifications are recognised and valued by many professional organisations and employers.
Having relevant experience can be vital in gaining a competitive edge in the graduate employment market.
As an OU student there are a number of ways you can find potential employers.
- Read employers' profiles and view vacancies on OpportunityHub.
- Find more information related to your qualification on your Study Home page.
- Find tips and advice on job seeking in our Jobs and work experience section.
Combining work and study shows that OU students are ambitious and have a strong work ethic. They are evidently keen to develop themselves and are managing to do this whilst juggling a busy work or home life which is no mean feat. The competencies which OU students therefore develop during their degree become invaluable to us.
