The National Association of Student Employment Services (NASES) run Job Shops on university campuses, which are an invaluable source of advice to students on employment and careers issues. If your university or college has a service we recommend you pay them a visit as they will be able to give you advice specific to your circumstances and local employment market. Find out more about this at www.nases.org.uk.

'A level' students with part-time jobs will also find our young workers’ section useful, as there are a number of differences in employment law for people aged 16 and 17.
