How does it work?
Bushwise trainers work closely with each and every student – allowing them to know every colour of every feather, so to speak. This close professional relationship is stronger than any offered by a typical recruitment service. The result? Our service offering is highly successful. Recruitment support is available to alumni of, and students that are currently completing, Bushwise’s Professional Field Guide course.
Each month, lodges, reserves and research centres send us positions they are looking to fill. Similar to how Bushwise matches students to appropriate placements, we pair candidates with suitable positions. Bushwise contacts the job poster and provides a professional reference. Bushwise will also contact the applicants other referees on behalf of the job poster. Finally, Bushwise will set up the final interview. After this point, it is the responsibility of the Bushwise student or alumni to wow their potential future employer.
If you are an alumn looking to make use of the Bushwise Recruitment service, or a potential student interested in finding out how you can use the service post-graduation, send an email to kim@bushwise.co.za and we will be in touch.
The employment guarantee
Bushwise is unique as it guarantees a job offer to all South African students within six months of completing the Bushwise Professional Field Guide course. Bushwise is extremely proud to say that for the past six years, 100% of our South African graduates have been offered permanent employment in the industry.
