Current YIBs promote their placement companies

It has been fantastic hearing from current Royal Holloway Year in Business students who have been promoting the companies where they are doing their placements. 2nd year Management students are encouraged to look out these companies as they make their placement applications and also to consider a range of placement roles. We have heard from Amin who is doing a placement within Logistics and Andrea who is working directly for the Chief of Staff to the COO in SAP. Some of these placement deadlines are coming up this week!

We are running Year in Business Resilience workshops next week, the first week of term, for all 2nd years who have not as yet secured placements and are looking forward to seeing all back in College next week.

Some of our YIBs out on placement who we have heard from include :

>Amandip Chand who is currently doing an HR placement with Honda Europe in Bracknell. 

Amandip says: I have had the best 6 months at Honda so far. When looking for a placement, I hoped I would find a placement that would allow me to have a "real" job and Honda have certainly provided me with that. I've had the best opportunities to work on amazing projects and experience first hand what HR Operations looks like."

 

Roles include: Finance, Human Resources, Marketing, Public Relations & Communications, IT, Events Coordinating, Sales & Sales Operations, Product Management, Power Products, Project Support, Customer Division, Supply & Logistics, Business Management and Corporate Audit . The deadline is January 11th for Assessment centres in February.

 Honda have placements in many areas and I would urge you to apply for an enjoyable and challenging Year in Business!  https://jobs.honda.eu/
