Year in Employment, get career inspiration
and work experience doing a placement year
in a role or industry of your choice.
It's open to undergraduates, across many different
courses. Meet Sophie, a second year psychology
student she registered with the placements
team who gave her lots of support, like where
to search, what to consider, how to apply
and some CV help too.
Sophie explored many different roles and applied
for a clinical psychology role, a recruitment
placement and an HR opportunity.
History student Ben explored a variety of
career paths and successfully secured a fantastic
research placement at the RNLI.
Sophie attended a mock assessment centre which
helped her shine on the day at IBM.
She got the job and is now loving her new adventure
on placement.
At the year in Employment induction, Sophie
met Emily, Samira and Alex who are also doing
placements in London. They found a house together
and have had a fantastic year.
Ben is based in Poole and still lives in Southampton
with his university friends.
After their placement, Sophie and Ben's increased
work ethic and motivation helped them achieve
some fantastic exam results and secure their
dream graduate roles.
