University Student Placements
We welcome applications from university students for their industrial/work placement years. We have a history of delivering placements that offer a rare breadth and depth of experience and learning within a supportive and friendly working environment.
Our aim is to help our placement students get the most out of their placement years to best position them for their final year and future employment. We achieve this by investing our time in them to ensure they become a productive and important part of our team, which of course directly benefits Cantarus as a business too. By aligning the ultimate goals of the placement student and the business we ensure both benefit.
"My placement year has been incredibly productive in terms of developing my skills and exposing me to a dynamic working environment where I am both supported and trusted to take on important roles within the company. Cantarus really does place importance on developing me as a person, so much so that they have helped with scoping a final year project for me."
Michael Cundall, student of Computing for Business Applications with Industrial Experience, University of Manchester, 2010
Subject to performance and resourcing demands, we do offer final year sponsorship, part-time/home working and graduate employment positions to placement students.
