A new website has recently been launched which is full of student resources including help finding part-time work so they can earn while they learn. They can also find permanent graduate jobs. It has even released a new student discount card offering up to 20% discounts on major brands that students buy.

In these recessionary times, students who need help to find work and ways to make their money go further can get help through a new national and aptly-named student-focused discount website Students In Need.

Students generally need two things; discounts when spending money and help getting the right job. That's why I launched the website as a new and independent choice, says Andrew, a Brunel University graduate who took inspiration from his own skint student days to launch the site earlier this year.

Students can register for free and take advantage of online discounts. Or for a small one-off membership fee, they can register as Premium members and access further savings with a student discount card.

In the current economic climate, students are facing the toughest jobs market in more than a decade, so they do need all the help they can get. Scores of young people are finding work through the website and numbers are rising as SIN membership increases. Student debt worries are increasing and that's why Students In Need is particularly relevant now with recent surveys suggesting that new students starting university this autumn can expect to graduate owing £23,000, says Andrew.

He adds:

Many parents too are stretching their resources to support their children at college or university. Its important to remember that students make up a significant number of today's consumers and still need to spend on things they need. Students In Need discounts help them to pocket the difference, which in turn helps to reduce the financial burden on the Bank of Mum and Dad.
