Benefits for the Employer:

  • Cost-effective sourcing of high quality, highly motivated and committed staff
  • Provides flexible labour management
  • An opportunity for an extended assessment of a student before committing to subsequent full-time employment
  • A student employed during a sandwich placement will become an effective contributor, once graduated, much faster than a graduate who is completely new to the organisation
  • Utilising the students’ un-fettered thinking and enthusiasm
  • Reduced time & resource commitment before employee achieves professional qualification
  • The opportunity to influence course content by providing constructive feedback during visits from one of our YiI Tutors; this feedback is subsequently reported back to the university formally at Annual Review Meetings
