Our Placements
Within the Placement section you will find out more information on the benefits of a placement in Asidua – whether that is Brent in Business Services, James in Device Services or Sharrona in our Marketing Department. Each of these pages include an overview from students who have recently finished their year out placement with us in 2008/2009.
Outlined below are the benefits on placements with Asidua and also details on how to apply.
Benefits
Within Asidua, we have a strong learning and development culture, with our employees thriving on being able to share their knowledge and expertise in order to aid the development of others. By having placement students experience working life in Asidua, we feel we as an organisation are benefitting through having a fresh perspective.
Students become much more rounded individuals during their time with us. They supplement the skills and theory learnt at University with industrial experience on value-adding projects. Placement students get to work with very experienced individuals who mentor them in software engineering best practices; gain real world experience of working in teams; and increase their confidence and communications skills along the way. They also gain a better understanding of what a career in IT is all about.
In addition, when a placement students performance is outstanding Asidua offers a bursary for their remaining time in University. We also facilitate part-time working during their final year and schedule their hours to best suit their classes. We also offer graduate positions to ex-placements following an interview and take into account their performance during their placement as well as how they perform during interview.
The remuneration package is the same as for all other employees e.g. bonus, special leave, flexible working, pension, etc.
