Business Works - Supporting Your Employment Needs

LMBS can provide a cost-effective labour resource to assist your business, through our part-time work experience and full-time 12-month work placement schemes. LMBS consists of a diverse student population studying courses covering a broad range of business subjects.

For over 25 years we have been placing students with organisations, many of which return to us year after year because of our professional and tailored service. Our schemes provide a foundation for our students to transfer knowledge and skills learnt to industry, which in turn aid in building stronger relationships between LMBS and the business community.

Our students can provide you with an extra pair of hands, fresh ideas, develop projects and bring a variety of skills to your organisation. Read more about the opportunites and how you can recruit.
