Dear ##FIRSTNAME## Welcome to the January edition of the GJS newsletter. GJS works in partnership with the universities of Southampton Solent, Southampton, Winchester and Chichester. We work with regional businesses in the South to find students and graduates to help sustain and grow your business. GJS is working hard to promote regional opportunities and to encourage graduates to return to the region or to stay and start their career. Can you help us promote the region and any opportunities you may have in the pipeline? It needn't be a graduate job; it could be a short-term project, internship or placement, whatever it is we want to find you the right person for the job. Contact meredith.smith@solent.ac.uk to find out more.
