Progressing into Employment

The FREEDOM Institute of Higher Education has extensive national contacts and networks in the fields in which they provide programmes. Many of these networks inform the FREEDOM Institute of Higher Education when they have vacancies coming up or open. These opportunities will be notified to all learners. Employment and career opportunities notified to the FREEDOM Institute of Higher Education normally require completion of at least one of our programmes to be eligible for the roles we are informed of. Learners at the FREEDOM Institute of Higher Education are also likely to be introduced to and meet employers in their chosen field during their programme of study; some may have work experiences with such potential employers. Completion of programmes of study to a high level should be a priority for all learners wishing to progress into employment or careers in professional fields supported by the FREEDOM Institute of Higher Education.
