LCR+

Our LCR+ programme is a new and improved version of the LCR Grad Scheme, a successful ESF project the University of Liverpool delivered aimed at retaining graduate talent within SMEs in the Liverpool City Region. We know attracting talent can be difficult for SMEs, but we also know up to 60% of students wish to remain in the region after graduating, if they can secure suitable employment.

The Employer Connections team will work closely with you to understand the role, culture of your company and the profile of your ideal candidate. Our LCR+ programme has streamlined the process for local SMEs to attract, recruit and employ talented graduates into their business. Here’s how it works...

  1. Attraction:  We will showcase your role to the most relevant cohorts of students & graduates through our internal job vacancy board and faculty/academic connections. We will also advise on the most relevant events for you to attend, in order to maximise engagement and raise your employer profile.

  2. Recruitment: Our team will conduct the initial sifting of candidates, shortlisting the most suitable candidates for the role. We will then support our students with preparing for the interview process, ensuring they are ready and informed about the role and working for your company. We will also, if needs be, support you with the organisation and facilitation of interviews on behalf of your company. (SMEs Only)

  3. Training & Development: Once your candidate has been appointed, we will offer a bespoke 6-week (3 hours per week) training programme designed to support your new hire to transition into the workplace and hit the ground running. This programme is free for all University of Liverpool graduates who have been hired by LCR employers and is a sure-fire way to maximise their potential.
