Dear students,

Please see the opportunity below, which has just been sent directly to me. So clearly they want our students! If you want to live near London but not quite in it, this could be ideal for you.

There are a lot of jobs coming in at the moment, as you’ll have noticed. This really is the top time to be applying. Please don’t leave it and hope more will come along later.

We currently have two IT undergraduate vacancies starting in Summer 2019, the link to our Undergraduate Vacancies is below:

http://careers.croudace.co.uk/Vacancy/Index/89

We will aim to close the vacancy on the 15^th February 2018.

If you have any questions then please let me know.

Roland Lee, whom you might remember from Gregynog, has sent us this link, for an IY placement in Malvern (yes, another one – another company). One of their positions might be particularly of interest to students studying AI, as it mentioned Machine Learning in the advertisement.

I am afraid I don’t know anything more about the company, but it looks very interesting, and it would be good to get students there.

Cogitor – industrial year developers

Richard Adams (richard@cogitor.co.uk) from Cogitor has contacted me directly, offering 2 to 4 IY positions for you. This is yet another company who regularly comes to us for IY students, and so obviously likes our students. Another one where an application stands a relatively high chance of success.

Do not worry about the fact that you won’t have studied Ruby On Rails yet (that’s a third year option for you). You’ll learn it quickly.

I’d very much like to get a few of you at this company. It’s good for us to keep in with (relatively) local businesses. And Shrewsbury is a lovely town, just 75 miles away, with an easy rail ride back to Aber to see your friends in Aber!

SoftwareDevelopmentIntern-DeltaXML

Tristan (tristan.mitchell@deltaxml.com) from DeltaXML has contacted me directly, offering two IY positions for you. This is a great opportunity with a company who regularly comes to us for IY students, and so obviously likes our students. Another one where an application stands a relatively high chance of success.

So please apply, if you like the sound of it.

And Malvern is a very nice area too!

PLACEMENT Junior Web Developer

Please see the attached advertisement for a job in Wrecsam, northeast Wales.

This is an excellent job. I visited our current student on placement at the company in November, and she was very much enjoying it. The managers all seemed a good bunch of people too. As far as I know, they are only advertising to you.

So, once again, this is a job for which an application stands a high chance of success. Please apply, if this is your thing!

Portaltech Reply – Intern DEV Portaltech Reply – Intern BA

Those of you who were at Gregynog will no doubt remember Sebastian and Georgina, one of the interviewing team, who were from Portaltech Reply.

Portaltech was set up by Aberystwyth graduates, and has now gone on to be part of a larger company. They are very keen on Aberystwyth students because they know the standard of our degrees. Sebastian is himself a graduate of our department.

Sebastian says that they can take up to four students for these two jobs (attached). So if you like the sound of the company and the jobs, this is one of those which it is very worthwhile making the effort to apply for.

Gloversure-Industrial-Advert-2019-20

Here’s another IY employer who comes to us every year advertising IY jobs. You may remember that Jonathan Knight from Gloversure was at Gregynog. Both he and Richard Glover-Davies (the owner) are graduates of this department.

The company’s main base is Welshpool, just a short walk from the train station. So it is possible to commute from Aber, if you really don’t want to leave your friends for a year (and it has been done by at least one past IY student). If you are keen on web, or if you are a software engineer who is interested in web, this might be for you. They often take a few students a year from us, so an application has a high chance of success, if this is your thing.

Enabling Technologies Support Intern 2019 Data Protection Support Intern 2019

We have the attached Internships within our Technical Support department approved (2x Data Protection and 1x Enabling Technologies), so I would like to advertise these with students from IT/ Computer Science/ Business IT related courses within your college.

Kindly share those with your Students’ community bearing in mind the applications would need to be submitted via the McAfee Careers website under the following links:

Data Protection: https://careers.mcafee.com/job/aylesbury/technical-support-intern/731/9989755

Enabling Technologies: https://careers.mcafee.com/job/united-kingdom/technical-support-engineer-intern/731/10027659

It’s  a wildlife conservation charity. The placement would be based in Fordingbridge, Hampshire. They provide free accommodation and £100 a week with no living wage.

Please get in touch with Angharad if interested and she will send the details to you.

JOB AD – Systems Developer (Industrial Year) EXTERNAL (23 Nov 2018)

Laura Ashley are near Newtown, Powys, so this is one where you can still come and visit your friends in Aber regularly! You could probably even commute it from Aber.

We often get students there, so another high-chance application.

Mentor have come back to us again, as they do every year. We regularly send students to them, so that means this is another of those jobs with a high success rate for you. In other words, it is worth the time and effort to apply!

I have visited in the past, and the students there seem to have an excellent time. So this comes as a highly recommended opportunity.

Please send CV and covering letter directly to Jacob Tredinnic (jacob_tredinnick@mentor.com). They would like to start interviewing as soon as possible, and will continue until all the placements are filled.

So don’t delay, do it today!

I know many of you have been asking about these. They are now advertised. And there are quite a few placements available. It is very likely they will all go to Aber students, so this really is a high-chance one for you.

And it’s in Germany. If you want to know more about Bad Homburg, I visited last March. And four of our third years were there; I am sure they would all be prepared to talk to you too. (It’s a lovely town!)
