How to get Nominated for the 2021 Student Employee of the Year Awards

 The philosophy of the Student Employee Of The Year (SEOTY) competition is to recognise student employees who combine study with part-time or temporary work. Applications are now open until 17^th April and your employer can nominate you in one of the following categories:

Business Impact - student has improved commerce or commercial viability or business processes

Leadership - student has demonstrated leadership qualities

Community - student has improved community engagement or similar

Innovation - student has successfully brought a new idea to the working environment

As your employer may not know about the awards, please ask them to nominate by sharing the following link https://www.exeter.ac.uk/careers/employment-services/recruit/casual-work/studentemployeeoftheyear/ or we can invite them to participate if you send us your name, details on your role and their contact details to casual@exeter.ac.uk .

After the closing date, a panel will convene to review all the applications, which will be scored separately and then the winners will be announced at the Awards event on the 20^th May.
