Career and Employer Partnerships
Verified employers can recruit learners and graduates, host workplace experience, advertise apprenticeships and internships, and request corporate training — all through one secure employer portal.
Highbury learners complete QCTO occupational qualifications that combine knowledge, practical skills and real workplace experience — so they arrive job-ready.
Learners are trained against QCTO occupational standards with external integrated summative assessment.
A dedicated Career and Employer Partnerships officer supports shortlisting, interviews and placement agreements.
Employers are verified before recruiting, and learners control what recruitment information employers can see.
Recruit from occupational programmes across our specialist schools.
