London South Bank University

Employer Engagement Unit (EEU)

The EEU is a multi-disciplinary team working across faculty and departmental boundaries to stimulate and support employer engagement.

The Unit will provide a first point of contact for employers and resources to ease them through the bureaucracy they have previously associated with universities.

It will also assist employers to develop a sound business case to support engagement with higher education (HE), while providing a brokerage service for needs which HE cannot meet.

The EEU secures academic resources from across the university to work directly with employers in the development of courses tailored to individual or sectoral business needs. The Unit also has capacity to assist with accreditation of prior learning achievements and of employers’ in-house training.
