A National representative body, National Association of Student Employment Staff (NASES) was established in July 1999. It aims to facilitate the continuing development of the sector, encourage interaction between practitioners, share best practice and represent its membership on a national level. It represents practitioners from all styles and organisational locations of Job Shops, including those in students’ unions, careers services and personnel offices. It is uniquely able to represent the Job Shop sector as a whole, regardless of organisational or geographical location; this appreciation of diversity is enshrined within its constitution. NASES has received funding of £191,000 for the Student Employment Learning Forum (SELF) project from the Department for Education and Skills. The project will focus on supporting student employment practitioners, promoting all types of student employment as valuable work experience and enhance the professionalism of the student employment sector.
AUSA Joblink are firmly committed to utilising the expertise of NASES for policies, good practice guidelines and information sharing
