Mentor-IESD-UKinternjobdescription

I have just received this from Jacob Tredinnick (jacob_tredinnick@mentor.com). Mentor Graphics take IY students from us every year. I have visited students at both their Altrincham and Newbury locations in the past, and the students have an excellent time there.

This really is a good one to go for, if you like the sound of the job.

Jacob comments: “Could any interested students please email their CV and cover letter to me? We plan to start interviewing in January and will continue until we have filled all of the positions available, looking for a start around July.”

So don’t delay applying!

Dear all,

Gloversure Industrial Year Developers 2020-21 have taken IY students continually for a longer time than probably any other company. This is virtually certain to be a job for one of you, and maybe two or three of you. It’s in Welshpool usually, though they have offices in Chester too now. Welshpool, although small, is an easy train ride or car drive from Aber, and I know a past student on placement there actually commuted it (though I don’t necessarily recommend that). Richard (the MD) and Jon Knight (the Technical Director) are both graduates of this department.

It’s particularly of interest if you are into web and/or software development.

Hi,

Gloversure Ltd is looking for industrial year developers for 2020/21. We have positions available at our Welshpool and Chester offices.

Please could you advertise this to your Computer Science Undergraduate Students looking for a 1 year industrial placement starting this summer.

Thanks,

Richard

Fred Long has just been to visit our IY student in CGI, in Leatherhead, Surrey. That’s right on the edge of London, for those who like the big city. He says:

“CGI is recruiting heavily, both for IY placements and graduates.

“Please would you pass on these details as appropriate:

“Kerry Hudson (Student recruitment/co-ordinates IPs and Grads)

Email: kerry.e.hudson@cgi.com

“Mark East (Student recruitment)

Email: mark.east@cgi.com ”

So, if you’re interested, now would be a very good time to contact these people, or go and check out their web site at https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cgi-group.co.uk%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cc9eb5804be764fee1efe08d769c6acb0%7Cd47b090e3f5a4ca084d09f89d269f175%7C0%7C0%7C637094174326806716&sdata=0WXTLAvYUOjArDO5eFabDmHIMStme4PS1tpFl9MbDp8%3D&reserved=0

Here is a great opportunity for a placement with a company which has taken students from us the past two years. You may remember Joana, who led the IY returners presentation at Gregynog, was there.

The company will probably come to Aberystwyth to interview, so you don’t even need to go anywhere!

Please apply for this one if interested – this job is most probably going to one of you.PLACEMENT Junior Web Developer

The initial deadline for the DCA job was today. Richard just contacted me to say that no-one has applied yet.

This is disappointing. DCA is a company who always come to us for students, always come to Gregynog, and always take students. If none of you want to go there, they might go to another university instead of us next year!

So, if you want to work in the web field, you want to go to a company we know and trust to provide a good placement, and you want a high chance of your application being successful, please apply now! Richard says he will give you until the end of this week.

It would be useful if you could also let us know if you are intending to apply for this post, and drop me an email when you’ve applied. Thanks!

Subject: Second Industrial Year placement student at DCA

Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2019 13:52:49 +0000

From: Richard Gledhill <richard.gledhill@dca-design.com>

To: Angharad Shaw [ais] <ais@aber.ac.uk>

CC: toh24@aber.ac.uk

Hello Angharad,

I hope you are well and Gregynog went well last weekend.

At DCA we are looking to take on an additional IY student for 2020 for something quite different to our usual embedded software. We are looking for an exceptional student who is comfortable with full stack software development for web interfaces, specifically:

-Data entry and visualisation on web pages

-Interfacing to a database (probably MySQL/NoSQL)

-Server-side data processing and scripting (maybe PHP but could be an

alternative)

-Export of data to Excel worksheets (probably just through a third-party

add-in)

Do you have any students in mind who would be willing to take this on?

It would be a prime opportunity for a student to gain valuable commercial experience in putting together a complex system for us. I’m sure there would be other projects around the side of this too so they would get some variation in their work as well.

Tom Hotston (copied) has kindly offered to make himself available to potential placement students if they would like to talk to him about working at DCA.

Looking forward to hearing if you have anyone in mind,

Kind regards,

Richard

BSquare were at the recruitment fair recently, and met some of you. But here’s the advert for those who missed them there. They will be coming to Aberystwyth to interview (so pretty much guaranteed to take one or two of you), making this a very easy one for you! Interviews will probably be on 4th and 5th December, in the Comp Sci department.

See attached. Apply today!

Dear students looking for an IY,

An exciting opportunity has just arrived in my inbox for you! We have had placements in Erlangen in the past, and it’s great that they have come back to us again. As you all know, I very much like to push placements in other countries, having done one myself in (German-speaking) Switzerland. Not only do you get the work experience, but you also get to experience another culture; this will make you stand out to future employers. It also will make it easier to get jobs in other countries in the future, as employers will see you as a more “international” person.

So, please go for these if you are interested at all. There will be people at Gregynog who can tell you what it’s like, including a present IY student in Germany.

Dear students looking for an industrial placement,

This has just come to me, and it looks like there are quite a few placements. Note the closing date is 27th October – that’s a Sunday! – and the day after Gregynog. So how about giving it a go now, as part of the practise for Gregynog?

There are lots of jobs here, if you follow the link in the forwarded message. It’s a fairly sure thing that most students will not be geared up for this yet, so you’ve probably got a fair chance with these.

Dear all,

I hope you are well. You may be aware that applications for the STFC

2020 Industrial Placements (previously known as Sandwich Students) are now open. To help us maximise our reach and engagement with Universities and students, we would greatly appreciate our current students sharing details of the 2020 placements with your University placement supervisor / tutor.

We have put together a short email (attached) which advertises the STFC Industrial Placement programme and the areas we are looking to recruit it. If possible, can you please ask your placement tutor to share the attached email with all relevant students who may be looking for an industrial placement to start in summer 2020.

If your university supervisor has any questions or would like to know more about the scheme, please feel free to provide them with this email address and put them directly in contact with me.

Thank you again for your help in sharing & spreading the work about the STFC Industrial Placements. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Dear students,

This has just come to me this morning. When an employer sends an email like this direct to us, it means they are really interested in our students. So that means you have a good chance.

I have replied to ask what the deadline is, but why wait? You’re working on your CVs now, and by the time you get an interview, you’ll have had the Gregynog preparation! And quite often companies (especially smaller ones) don’t set deadlines; they just close their applications when they’ve found the right candidates.

We have had some very successful placements at GSK – we have a student there this year. The company has just approached us directly with this job. That’s always a good sign – it means they are actively targeting you, and it means you have a good chance with an application.

https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuk.gsk.com%2Fen-gb%2Fcareers%2Fundergraduates%2Findustrial-placements%2Fdata-science%2F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7Cdc586e0852144813769508d74d618111%7Cd47b090e3f5a4ca084d09f89d269f175%7C0%7C0%7C637062953480485717&amp;sdata=T8RT%2BZn%2F0drX3ipaSlpgYFP2yHSHaoGCMtKH5YC3L2Q%3D&amp;reserved=0

This role would particularly suit someone studying Data Science, AI, or a Comp Sci / Software engineering student with an interest in that area (and it’s a fascinating area – the sort of stuff I did for my PhD, so if you like numbers and data then go for it).

This job advert comes from a recent student of ours, Carlos Roldan, who has established his own company in Spain.

https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fangel.co%2Fcompany%2Frookie-labs%2Fjobs%2F620649-full-stack-developer-intern&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7Cf81ea280abc3451154a308d74cf393cd%7Cd47b090e3f5a4ca084d09f89d269f175%7C0%7C0%7C637062481348350712&amp;sdata=S52c1SIH%2FrqRITVy9kCDwY4IYINEZsqrNy0O284TzPk%3D&amp;reserved=0

He is happy to receive applications after Gregynog, as he hasn’t set a deadline. It sounds very interesting, but obviously as we haven’t had students at the company before, it’s up to you to find out if you like the sound of it. It sounds good though. I’d suggest emailing Carlos for more details, if you are interested.

You can email applications direct to Carlos at jobs@rookielabs.io

This company sent me these adverts a fortnight ago! Most companies are not quite this early, but – as they say – the early bird catches the worm.

Meaning, in this case,

* companies that apply earlier tend to get the keener students (before they find other jobs), and

* the keenest students tend to have less competition (the “I’ll leave it until later” effect)

The cs-iy-interest list wasn’t ready to send to at the end of last month, but now it is. So, don’t leave it. Go for it! You have to write a CV for Gregynog anyway, so why not send it off.

There won’t be a lot of competition for these jobs, because most students won’t apply – you know, that tendency to leave things until later? Don’t be one of those! 🙂

Plus, the company contacted us directly, which means they are genuinely interested in Aber students. That’s a big advantage for you.

If you send them an application, please let us know, so we have an idea who is applying for what. Good luck!

Dear students looking for an IY,

This has just come to us. Note the closing date is the Sunday (!) right after Gregynog, so it’s probably a good idea not to leave it until then. Morwenna can help you with your CV; Gregynog will obviously help with your interview technique.

This is quite an exciting opportunity for anyone interested in programming in a scientific environment.

Hello,

I’m Nick Draper a project manager at the ISIS facility of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, just south of Oxford. As part of our project we offer several year-long industrial placements each year for undergraduates to join our team developing scientific software to support the data analysis at the ISIS neutron and muon facility.  This scheme has been running for several years and we get excellent feedback from our students every year about the training and experience we offer.

We have three placements to offer for next year and are keen to find the right students to work with.  These posts are programming roles for scientific software, so we are after those students where programming is a real talent, have an interest in science and a willingness to learn.

The link with the Job description and how to apply is below, and I hope you can help us with this, the closing date for student applications is the 27th of October.

I have just heard from IS that they had two applicants for three jobs for the IT Service Desk (deadline 17th April). Both those who applied will be interviewed. However, as they still need at least one more, they have extended the deadline.

I visited a company in Aberystwyth, Environmental Systems

(https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.envsys.co.uk&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7Cd3f43d74c2bd4c045e4a08d6bf622796%7Cd47b090e3f5a4ca084d09f89d269f175%7C0%7C0%7C636906825632522084&amp;sdata=%2BZhzgvjzfRQP0AoXj7U6NqaPzw9RsqKXf2XwysLfKw8%3D&amp;reserved=0) today. They are interested in our industrial year scheme, and may consider employing an IY student.

What they do is likely to interest people in the fields of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, but they also want software engineers. If any of you are doing a joint degree with Geography, that may well also be of interest to them.

They’re very much at the stage where they are exploring possibilities at the moment, so there is no guarantee that a job will be there. But they would be very happy to talk to anyone interested, anyway.
