Plymouth Marine Laboratory come to us every year for IY students, and we have often had more than one student there. It’s a nice location, and (as I remember) largely a Linux establishment.
So this one is definitely worth a go if you like the sound of it!

One of our second years has just had to turn down a placement offer with CodeThink. So, the company says they are still looking for students for an IY. It looks a very exciting placement opportunity, so definitely one worth going for if you are into software engineering and Linux. Kernel work, anyone?

A graduate of ours, Stephi Chan, who now works for Vodafone, has just alerted me to the fact that they’ve just opened their internship programme.

I am sure Stephi, as a Gregynog regular (though not last year) would be happy to talk to anyone about what working for Vodafone is like.
Football Association of Wales Management System Internship
This is more likely to suit a Business IT student; I think we wouldn’t be too happy with a software engineer doing it. Though if you’re Comp Sci and you’re really keen on it, make a case to us (but we might say no).
JOB AD – Systems Developer (Industrial Year) EXTERNAL (23 Nov 2018)
Laura Ashley advertised before, but they have had a very poor response.
This is a job that is easily close enough to commute from Aber if you have a car, or possibly could be done by train. We would very much like to make sure they keep coming to us for students, as they are a local company. So please apply if you fancy a software engineer job.

Dwr Cymru Welsh Water have graduate jobs in Data Science and in Automation, Telemetry and Control Engineering. Deadline 1st March http://www.joindwr.cymru/graduates/other-opportunities/
Rowan is a recent graduate of ours. He’s now working at a company called OpenMarket. His company is offering mock telephone interviews for the attached position, as a way of helping you with your interview technique and CV.
Please contact Rowan directly if you’re interested
(rowan.foley-marshall@openmarket.com) – send him your CV. Of course, if you really impress, this could lead to something more with the company.
There is no obligation, no ties. So if you want some practice, or you’re not sure why you haven’t got those interviews yet, this is a really good opportunity. Right now, at the start of term when there’s not so much on, seems an ideal time!
And please let me know how you get on, and if it was useful, if you do this. I’d like feedback, so we know if it’s worth doing next year.

Hi Angharad,
Attached is a 2-page job ad for a Software Developer. It’s based off our real job ads with trimmed down requirements and some extraneous stuff removed. Looking at the current modules I think most 3rd years would fit the requirements reasonably well, but we’re happy to mock-interview anyone interested.
Annwyl bawb / Dear all,
Dyma swydd sydd newydd dod trwodd yng Nghyngor Sir Gwynedd. Mae’r allu i siarad Cymareg yn fantais mawr. Dw i wedi ymweld â myfyrwyr yn y gweithle ‘ma o’r blaen, ac mae’n debyg i fi fod e’n swydd da iawn, mewn awyrgylch hyfryd, reit ar bwys Castell Caernarfon.
This position has just come through for Manylion Person Person Spec Swydd Ddisgrifiad Job Description. The ability to speak Welsh is an advantage. I have visited students on placement there in the past, and it seems to me that it’s an excellent job, in a very nice environment, right next to Caernarfon castle.
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 15th 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.
