IY opportunities with TUI

Posted on by

Here is a message I received from a current Aber placement student at TUI:

They aren’t offering the web placement next year that I’m currently on, but they have a UX placement some computer science students might be interested in. I will also send over the links to other placements that may be useful for other departments too.

There are offering roles social media, marketing, merchandising, product planning, product development, trading and UX design.

Software Engineering Intern – Sophos

Posted on by

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.

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

http://www.careersportal.co.uk/UKRI-careers/jobs/graduate-software-engineer-3700

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

Posted on by

Net World Sports_year in industry

 

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
