Morwenna has just contacted me with this one. It sounds fascinating. As they say:
“The placement will be a technology development role focussed on the use of Natural Language Processing and related technologies for cognitive data searchand exploration of unstructured data”
This could well be ideal for an AI or data science student.
It’s the last job on this page:

See the attached. They have had students from us before. And if you have a car, it’s an easy trip back to Aber to see your friends! Builth is in a lovely rural area of Powys.
This would be ideal for a student who is interested in systems admin.

Rapid7 Galway
A very exciting looking job has just come up in Ireland. They contacted us directly, so are obviously particularly keen on establishing a relationship with us. It seems they might be wanting more than one of you.
I’m expecting they might send a fuller advertisement in due course, but why delay? Get a CV and covering letter to John Brosnan <john_brosnan@rapid7.com> now!
I am told the salary will be €20K. This is stuff many of you can do, and would probably enjoy.
Copy&paste follows:
At Rapid7 Galway, we design and develop the Insight platform network sensor. This software analyzes network traffic using deep packet inspection techniques to give Rapid7 customers a unique level of visibility into network traffic, including user activity, file and database monitoring, intrusion detection, bandwidth usage, and Internet access. As an intern you will research, design and develop our software systems. Our engineers work on projects from requirements capture and analysis, through design and coding, to deployment and support.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
As an intern in our R&D group you will be involved in the following lifecycle activities:
• Software architectural and design; helping to interpret and analyse requirements.
• Implementation; software development to written technical specifications and coding standards.
• Testing; finding and fixing faults.
• Participate in reviews during the lifecycle.
You will be part of a multi-skilled team working closely with specialists from across a number of disciplines and in other Rapid7 locations. You may be working on a number of projects at the same time, or just one. Our projects range from rapid developments where tight timescales apply (a few weeks) to full scale developments (up to 2 years).
Learning “on the job” is a key part of your development. You will be working closely with experienced engineers on real projects from day one.

Mentor Graphics
Mentor-IESD-UKinternjobdescription
I have just received this from Jacob Tredinnick (jacob_tredinnick@mentor.com). Mentor Graphics take IY students from us every year. I have visited students at both their Altrincham and Newbury locations in the past, and the students have an excellent time there.
This really is a good one to go for, if you like the sound of the job.
Jacob comments: “Could any interested students please email their CV and cover letter to me? We plan to start interviewing in January and will continue until we have filled all of the positions available, looking for a start around July.”
So don’t delay applying!
Gloversure
Dear all,
Gloversure Industrial Year Developers 2020-21 have taken IY students continually for a longer time than probably any other company. This is virtually certain to be a job for one of you, and maybe two or three of you. It’s in Welshpool usually, though they have offices in Chester too now. Welshpool, although small, is an easy train ride or car drive from Aber, and I know a past student on placement there actually commuted it (though I don’t necessarily recommend that). Richard (the MD) and Jon Knight (the Technical Director) are both graduates of this department.
It’s particularly of interest if you are into web and/or software development.
