R21 Education Mobile Site
After the launch of our R21 Education iPhone app, we felt it was vital to offer every mobile user a quick and easy way of searching and applying for jobs on R21 Education regardless of the handset they own.
In the last 12 months R21Education.com has seen an increase of 406% in mobile traffic (Between Jan 2011 and Jan 2012), which demonstrates the need for a user-friendly mobile site. By keeping a close eye on consumer trends R21 Education constantly evolves to ensure its users are able to search for Further Education jobs using the latest technology.
Our mobile site recognises the handset you are using, then automatically serves you a version of R21 Education that is optimised for your device. You no longer have to wait for content to load or tirelessly navigate from left to right to view the entire page.
There are other benefits too, namely privacy and mobility. Job hunting is a very personal activity, so it seems only natural that you should be able to do it in private and at a time of your choosing regardless of where you are. You can now search for your new job in Further Education whilst making your daily commute.
To access the mobile site simply visit our website (www.R21Education.com) on your mobile as you would normally do from a computer. If your mobile doesn’t divert to the mobile version automatically just enter “mobile.r21education.com” in the address bar.

Colleges score an average of just 45% for Recruitment Equality, Accessibility and Diversity for their websites.
R21Education are pleased to announce the publication of an independent report into FE Colleges and recruitment equality.
The report is the result of an Equality Screening Exercise of 100 randomly selected UK Further Education (FE) Colleges, carried out in June 2011.
The screening exercise looked for information provided about a website’s Accessibility, as well as the general availability of other Equality & Diversity information.
As the intention was to promote Equality of Opportunity in Employment, the Staff Recruitment sections of websites were put under particular scrutiny.
Congratulations to Southampton City College who came out top.

R21Education commissioned and sponsored the report as part of their corporate social responsibility program.
