Every year, BTexact invites around 90 students from 40 local schools to undertake their two-week work experience placement at Adastral Park . Under experienced supervision, each student learns the value of work-related learning.
Placements are across a wide range of disciplines from web page design to testing of equipment.
Often students will receive employee-level training to allow them to complete a range of tasks as a part of one a BTexact engineering project, but just as importantly they will learn how to adapt to a working life away from the classroom. Feedback from work experience students is always extremely positive, and the initiative has proven worthwhile for both parties year after year. Through this and similar initiatives, BTexact hopes to deliver the message to home-grown technologists that a future career path in an exciting high technology industry awaits them, right on their doorstep.
