Why us?

We can advise you on how best to connect with UL students and raise your organisation’s profile on campus.

We bring students and employers together through various programmes and events, including recruitment fairs, panel events and skills workshops.

We work with the entire student body and have close links with UL academic Schools and Programmes.

We welcome employers on campus during the academic year and offer presentation and interview facilities.

Presentations normally occur between October and December and from February until April, though interviews can be scheduled for any time outside of examination dates. 

Graduate outcomes

Building a national talent pool that is resilient, skill-appropriate and entrepreneurial in outlook is core to the third-level mission.

In the context of University of Limerick, the Cooperative Education Programme confers a significant advantage to UL graduates.

This is supported by substantial research on the benefits of work-based learning and is evidenced by the sustained high demand for UL graduates.

The data analysis of the Graduate Outcomes Survey 2023 shows that UL’s longstanding and well-directed collaboration with graduate and Coop employers has proven reassuringly hardy.

Overall, the report evidences employability resilience at the level of the student, the University and the region.

 

Employer in Residence Programme

The UL Employer in Residence (EIR) programme is a unique opportunity for you to connect with students on campus who are interested in your organisation and industry. This year, we moved to the Glucksman Library foyer, with the EIR focusing on industry/sector. Each EIR will be hosted on Wednesdays and includes an employer stand, lunch, and campus promotion.  

Autumn Semester 2025 schedule will be announced in the summer
