A Correct answer
Explanation

The article 'a' is correct because 'university' starts with a consonant sound /j/ (like 'you'), even though it begins with the letter 'u'. The choice between 'a' and 'an' depends on the sound, not the spelling. 'University employer' is a noun phrase needing an article.
