Employers find our students to be an economically effective resource.
Our continuous flow of talented students and our varied scheduling options provide employers with year-round job coverage. Student placements may be used to reduce peaks in workload periods, to replace those on maternity leaves, to work on short-term projects, and to ease the workload of permanent staff. Student placements facilitate a more effective use of personnel. In addition, pay rates of students are substantially lower than the cost of taking on new staff. Our programme attracts highly motivated, intelligent students eager to experience the world of work.
