The Environment Department at the University of York is now looking for organisations who are interested in hosting students on Year in Industry placements from July 2016.
Students entering into a Year in Industry placement will have just completed their second year of study and must have achieved an overall average of at least 55% to remain on the Year in Industry programme. Host organisations could of course add additional stipulations in their placement job description.
They are also looking for organisations to host shorter work experience placements (4-12 weeks) for students of the Environment department to run over the summer vacation. At present we are looking for placements for 2015 that would need to run between 22 June - 25 September 2015.
The bulk of students that we will be placing on these internships will have just completed 3 years of an integrated masters degree - i.e. will have already benefited from 3 years of undergraduate teaching. Their internship will be in the summer before their final masters level year of teaching.
Further information on how these work experience placements would be managed can be found on the following website along with information on the funding opportunities available: http://www.york.ac.uk/about/departments/support-and-admin/careers/employers/vacancies/sib-employers/
If anything here is something that you, or anyone else in your organisation may be interested in, then please email Nancy on nancy.baines@york.ac.uk and she will be able to answer any questions you may have and take the matter forward.
