The following email from Sam Jones, an Aber CS alumni who works (and also did his IY) with STFC:

We have the following roles for IY in my software group, I did the first one in this list when I was studying at Aberystwyth, as have other alum:

I heavily recommend STFC to students as many other students will be working there during their year and there are HR coordinators dedicated to ensuring that it works out, there are at least 30+ not listed roles that are not computing specific across the organization’s various facilities.

A quick caveat, as with most years the STFC ends it’s IY recruitment quite early because to my understanding that is when science placements usually stop recruiting. My understanding is that this year it is October 29th, 2023 for all of them.

Year in Industry Placement – Net World Sports, Wrexham

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
