News: AEM Students ready for Summer placements

By

Rotherham businesses in the Advanced Engineering and Materials (AEM) sector are being invited to come forward to offer placements over the summer period for students who are 'work ready' and can make a valuable contribution to the workplace.

Over 250 students have applied for work within the Yorkshire and Humber region, through AEMStudents' Learn Earn and Advance programme, run by NAMTEC in Rotherham and supported by Yorkshire Forward.

The innovative programme provides high calibre engineering and materials science undergraduates for summer placements in 2010 and 2011 for companies in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

Using a strict assessment process and structured induction, the programme assesses all the students so that businesses only have to decide the discipline and characteristics of the students they would like to place and NAMTEC will select a student or students who are most likely to meet that business's requirements.

Rebecca Creighton, learning & skills development manager at NAMTEC, said: "This is a great opportunity for employers to offer placements to "work ready" students who have an understanding of the industry and can make a valuable contribution to a business. The aim is that they will further develop their knowledge and skills through the placement, providing benefits for both the student and the company."

Rotherham companies, London and Scandinavian Metallurgical (LSM), Corus and Newburgh Engineering have offered placements in the past
