Nicholas Associates sponsors Higher Education conference

Sheffield recruitment specialist, Nicholas Associates, is sponsoring the annual conference for ASET, the professional body for placement and employability staff, scheduled for 3rd-5th September at the University of Greenwich.

Higher Education institutions are increasingly concerned with how their students develop their attractiveness to employers and workplace skills beyond academic learning and the event is aimed at placement and employment professionals across the HE spectrum.

Nicholas Associates team will be there to promote and test the feasibility of the support it can offer the sector with its online placement management software, All Together. It was designed to help education business brokers and HE organisations manage work placements efficiently in a single place, online, as a team. The company claims that it allows the academics do more with less, freeing up time to focus on other activities.

Nicholas Associates’ latest contract win in the sector was with Sheffield Hallam University, which needed a placement management system that could be developed to accommodate a variety of needs and requirements of its four teaching faculties. The company’s team is currently developing a bespoke All Together version for the university and phase one will go live in September.

James Waring, head of software at Nicholas Associates, said: “At the conference, we’re hoping to can gain insight from other universities to understand how they currently deal with placement management and establish whether our business and software can help them.”

Following the integration of TEK Personnel and Action 4 Business earlier this year, Nicholas Associates offers a full range of services, which include recruitment, learning and talent development, lean and organisational business, robotics, automation and software development.
