As Mac-Nutrition Uni’s reputation continues to grow on a GLOBAL scale, so do the number of exclusive opportunities we’re able to offer our graduates. You may have already seen it but we have a dedicated jobs board for MNU Certified Nutritionists inside the Mac-Nutrition Mentoring Lab, to provide yet another potential stepping stone into the industry.
If you would prefer to be employed as a Nutritionist (rather than setting up your own consultancy) we are very pleased to say that employers around the world are now actively seeking MNU Certified Nutritionists for nutrition roles, with MNU appearing as an essential qualification on job specs for many gyms, clinics, private facilities & health-related companies. We believe this is likely to become the norm in many private facilities, whilst many others have said they acquired a new client based on them displaying the MNU Graduate emblem on their website.
We’re also pleased to say that some of our graduates have successfully used the MNU Certification to strengthen their application for nutrition-related degrees and post-graduate degrees as well as jobs within the NHS such as Dietetic Assistant positions. However, currently, there are no formal arrangements or outcome pathways for this.
