Software Development Industrial Year Placement | Sopra Banking UK (talentfinder.be)

The student currently on his IY at Sophos has mailed to say they have advertised the IY positions for next year (see below). It raises the interesting point about remote working. In general I believe it is better to have at least some face-to-face in-the-office time for an industrial year job. However the work landscape is changing fast and remote working is being adopted by some companies and industries. A lot depends on the level of support the company provides. For employers that provide great support and monitoring and for people who have the self discipline and won’t go crazy working ‘alone’ for extended periods it can work, however remote working does not suit everyone so before anyone accepts a 100% remote working IY position you need to talk to me (nns@ber.ac.uk) and discuss it.

I am currently on my placement year with Sophos, I wanted to let you know that placements for 2024 are available with the deadline being quite soon:

My experience so far has been brilliant and I recommend them highly for the support I’ve been given.

One thing to note, is that although it will most likely be a fully remote position, the support from my team has been great but it might not suit everyone.

This placement has just come in (see attachment). It’s in Wrexham – north east Wales. I’ve visited a student at this location before, and this year I think Edel visited – contact either of us if you’d like to know our thoughts. I’m around on Discord most of the time, so give me a shout on there for a chat if you like. Briefly, it is a great placement; the only comment I had from my student there a few years back was that, being on the edge of the town, it helps if you have transport (car, bicycle).

As far as I know, they are only advertising to us. So this makes an application to them very worthwhile if you like the look of the job (web dev mainly). I very much want to maintain our relationship with this company, so please apply! If you could let me know you’re applying, that would be great, just so I have an idea of the response. The company’s web site is here: https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.networldsports.co.uk%2F&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cc2db0e740c1345ebb6f808db2f92e040%7Cd47b090e3f5a4ca084d09f89d269f175%7C0%7C0%7C638156080123054979%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=shX2NcczfgCP2CxAkQ6hbqZ7uJLP5dSLtNNZRm3tDLA%3D&reserved=0
