Become a Sponsor

Who?

Novus would like to hear from logistics, transport, manufacturing and retail companies with a keen strategy, an appetite for success and an eye for the future.

Novus sponsors are committed to inspiring the next generation of supply chain professionals and investing in Novus as a long-term solution to the skills shortage in the logistics profession.

What?

Novus is an exciting initiative which connects higher education to the supply chain and logistics profession, where the demand for high-calibre staff to fill rewarding and challenging roles often outnumbers the supply of candidates.

Novus offers potential students an opportunity to study an honours degree which is supplemented by real life experience in the field. There’s a yearlong and graduate opportunity for every Novus student, that engages in the program.

Why?

By attracting new talent into the sector, recruiting the best students, investing in and developing their skills, Novus provides its graduates with an accelerated career path.

Each Novus sponsor benefits from reduced time-to-value of these high-calibre graduates, in addition to the opportunity to be involved with their development throughout the four years of their degree. Every Novus student will have completed a yearlong placement meaning they can hit the ground running as they know what to expect from a professional environment.

When?

Novus works with its students, universities and sponsors throughout the academic year.

Our academic timetable, created in conjunction with sponsors and universities, provides you with opportunities to develop mutual familiarity with our students.

How?

We invite new sponsors to sign a memorandum of understanding, in which they agree to support the student’s journeys as follows:

  • Provide support for assessment centres, from operational or HR business functions
  • Attend an annual online Novus Careers Fair to showcase summer, yearlong and graduate roles
  • Attend three sponsor meetings per year, to network and hear updates from our students and our universities
  • Provide at least one mentor, who will undergo Novus funded mentoring training, before being matched with a Novus student at a suitable university
  • Consider supporting local students through a summer placement
  • Commit to deliver at least one yearlong placement and graduate role

Please contact us to discuss your commitment to inspiring the next generation of supply chain professionals further.
