Careers and Employability
The University uses an external company, CareerHub, as our data processor. They provide us with a database to allow us, as data controllers, to contact you and to administer our services. We will hold your professional contact information on CareerHub on an ongoing basis unless you request us to remove them for any reason.
If you have any questions, or wish to be removed from our database, please contact employers@chester.ac.uk
Work Based Learning
The Work Based Learning Department will hold your professional contact information on their bespoke database on an ongoing basis unless you request us to remove them for any reason. We will not share your details with anyone outside of the Work Based Learning Department without your express permission. In addition, we will contact you on an annual basis to confirm if you wish to host any of the University of Chester students on a work placement.
