placement year

After my successful placement year at Access I’ve been invited back to be a full-time permanent member of staff. It’s great to be welcomed back to the team  – it feels like I never left.

My four year degree in Management at UCLAN offered the opportunity to take a 12month paid placement. I wanted to gain as much relevant industry experience as I could and make sure my employment prospects were as high as possible, and started my placement with Access just over two years ago. I learnt so much during that year, gaining valuable experience and building up new skills. After my placement I returned to university to complete the final year of my degree; it was tough and a lot of hard work (never again!) but I made it through and came out the other end with a sparkling 2.1.
