IT, robotics students seek UK work placements
13 Oct 2012
Process Engineering has been contacted by a high school in Catanzaro, Italy, which is seeking work placements for 15 students in the UK.
The students are in their final year and are specialising in IT and robotics.
They have received funding from the EU for a trip abroad, provided that they can do an unpaid three-week work experience in a related industry.
Industrial companies that uses automation and computer-based manufacturing technology would be suitable. Ideally, though, if the placements are in different companies they should ideally be geographically not too far apart.
Placements do not have to be for three weeks in a single place: the students could, for example, benefit from doing three one-week placements in order to experience different working environments.
Any companies interested can email Process Engineering editor at patrick.raleigh@synthesismedia.co.uk and I will put them in touch with the placement organisers.
