A number of factors contribute to the sustained demand for rented accommodation in Yorkshire. The burgeoning student population of Englands largest county, with major universities at Sheffield, Hull, Leeds and York, among others, underpin demand for rented properties. Many students, after graduation, remain in the county and as first jobbers look for shared accommodation with their friends in the major towns. An important demographic trend that has sustained the growth of the private rented sector over the past decade or so has been the tendency for young people to leave the family home at a fairly young age to go on to further education and not return. In addition, there has been a net influx of jobs in some parts of Yorkshire which has helped create a requirement for more rented homes.

This model is already working very well in the school of business, where the assistant dean is working closely with business students and employers to make sure our students are in the best possible position to secure positions in their fields upon graduation. We hope to replicate that success in the other schools and colleges. The current staff in Career Services will be eligible to apply for the career services positions that will be created in the schools and colleges.
