YINI

Since 1997 The Year in Industry has been providing talented young people with paid, degree relevant work placements in the year out before or during their university course.  Over 250 UK companies take part each year and as of 2005 it has placed over 8000 students.

There are opportunities in all branches of engineering, science, computing, business and much more. Placements generally last about 12 months and students get the opportunity to undertake interesting projects and learn how business works. The skills they develop enhance their University education and maximise their graduate job prospects.

Many companies view The Year in Industry as an important part of their graduate recruitment programme, and go on to sponsor placement students through university. Around a quarter of all the studients that are placed are sponsored each year.
