This was a pilot campaign, run during 2021. Funding for this campaign has now ended, however we can still deliver the campaign workshop for a fee, or provide you with free resources to deliver yourselves.

Prospective applicants and newly-employed graduates can help influence employers to do more for sustainability, from investing their pensions more ethically to paying a real living wage to all workers.

As outlined in our guide for students, this can be at various points of the recruitment process:

• before applying (e.g. background research)
• when applying (e.g. careers fairs and interviews)
• after applying (and starting new role)

This pilot campaign seeks to engage students on this area through focussed workshops and other engagement led by SOS-UK. Our thanks to the two pilot universities: Coventry University and the University of Edinburgh.
