FLAGSHIP SPONSORS

Group GTI
Our mission is to help students realise their potential in the world of work. It’s about students finding the right role and organisations finding the most suitable candidates. But it’s more than that – it’s about helping young people discover options, develop and build confidence. To do this, we partner with employers, universities, colleges, schools and other technology providers.

We offer organisations student research, attraction, virtual platforms and recruiting services. We support universities in delivering world-class career management and student services.

Our technology puts students at the heart of everything we do: providing dynamic, responsive and continually evolving tools and content to help them achieve their career outcomes. At the same time, our platforms continue to transform the way organisations reach and engage at the right time with students.

Our comprehensive list of services can be adapted to your needs, including TARGETjobs, TARGETapprenticeships, TARGETconnect, Recruiting Solutions and Cibyl.

Today the GTI network includes 1.6+ million students and recent graduates, 80 education institutions and 100,000 employers across the UK and Ireland. Learn more about GTI at www.groupgti.com

UCAS Media connects higher education providers, commercial businesses and employers with hundreds of thousands of verified students each year. We have the data, knowledge and marketing tools to help organisations build relationships with the right student audience, in the best way, at the optimum time – whatever their ambitions.

Our array of products and services for universities and colleges mean we can help them whether they’re looking for a short-term boost to student acquisition or are aiming to improve their long-term recruitment position.

With access to first party verified student data, we are uniquely placed to help higher education providers expand their reach – including amongst pre-applicants, Extra and Clearing applicants. We can target using a range of criteria and build a provider’s profile across a combination of locations, age groups, subject areas and more, depending on their needs. And from email to display, social to direct mail – we offer the channel mix best suited to deliver their message to that audience.
​
We also help universities and colleges answer big questions to shape strategic business decisions and make smarter choices about where to invest their money. We can show them where in the applicant journey they are losing students, uncover untapped markets for them to expand to, and provide insights direct from students on why they did or didn’t choose to study with them. Whatever the challenge, we can provide solutions.
