Professional partnerships
York St John University is strongly rooted within its region,
with a large proportion of students drawn from the Yorkshire and
Humber area. It also works actively with local and regional
businesses, such as Nestle, CPP and Aviva, to add to the wealth,
skills and welfare of its community. Listed below are a few
examples of York St John’s areas of community, partnership and
professional activity.
York St John University is part of the Higher York Lifelong Learning
Network along with York College, Askham Bryan College, University
of York and the City of York Council.
The University is actively involved with different areas of the
public and voluntary sector, including NHS Trusts, the NHS
Institute for Improvement and Innovation, York City Council, Joseph
Rowntree Trust, Leonard Cheshire Disability, North Yorkshire Sport
Partnership, a range of LEAs and directly with schools and
colleges. Much of this work is supported by business development
staffs based in the University’s faculties and supported centrally
by the Pro Vice Chancellor’s external community engagement
work.
The Phoenix Centre was launched
at York St John in 2009 through a pioneering initiative led by
Science City York. It provides very low cost accommodation,
mentoring and skills development for graduate start-up creative and
digital businesses in York and attracts talented entrepreneurs into
the city to gain added value by working alongside University
expertise and facilities.
