The Annual On-Campus Recruitment Programme (or the Annual Graduate  Recruitment Programme [AGRP])

The office arranges a Graduate Recruitment Programme from Mid-March to the end of April between final year students and employers needing graduates to work in their organizations.

Over fifty organizations participate annually. The Jamaican job market has become increasingly competitive and graduating students are encouraged to take full opportunity of these interviews. Students will receive more detailed information on how to participate during their final year.

Part-time Employment

Requests are made to the office for on and off campus part-time employment of students. If you need to participate in this programme, you may complete the application form which is available at the office. This will be kept on file and you will be contacted as soon as jobs are available. You are permitted to work for a maximum of twelve hours weekly if you are registered in a full-time programme.

Please note that first year students are not allowed to apply until the second semester of the academic year.

Alumni Placement

Throughout the year, private and public sector organizations advertise their vacancies with the Department. Alumni are therefore invited to submit their resumes so that they can be assisted in their job search. Assistance is also given in job-hunting skills and techniques and resume writing. Alumni also have access to our Career Information Centre.


Career Information Centre

In order to make wise career decisions you need to have accurate and up-to-date information. Come in and use our Career Information Centre, which contains material on different types of occupations, organizations that regularly employ graduates and job opportunities related to various disciplines. The Centre also has information on postgraduate studies available at the UWI as well as USA, UK and Canada.

We also encourage you to contact embassies, professional organizations, general libraries and industrial directories if additional information is needed.
