Placement Student Quote

"I completed my industry placement at Tecnair, where I worked within the office on various projects. I attended my placement 2 days each week, for 2 years. 

The placement has helped me gain confidence and increase my knowledge and skills, and being able to evidence 2 years of industry experience helped me get a place at University. 

I also got a paid summer job with the company, so I really benefitted from the work placement!"
