Don’t take our word for it, here’s what current placement student Lucy Midgley had to say about their experience in one of our Events Teams:

"Working as the events assistant in the employability team, has allowed me to learn and develop an understanding of graduate and placement roles not just relevant to my degree but also a variety of different sectors. During my placement I have developed a variety of skills such as my attention to detail, confidence and communication. The support from staff ensures that not only do you excel within the role but also ensures you develop the skills needed for final year and beyond. I very much would recommend working for NTU and I am going to miss the team and the events a lot next year."
