Fully-funded Physics students available for work experience
The South-East Physics Network(SEPnet)is a collaboration of seven University Physics departments in the South East, including Southampton who have a history of collaborating with the Marine industry. They are currently looking for host companies for their SEPnet Physics undergraduates, for eight weeks work experience, normally in the Summer. SEPnet fully funds these students so there is no salary cost to the company.
SEPnet generates applications from students, so all the company needs to do is select their preferred student and have a project that will develop the student's skills in any of these areas: Engineering, Physics, R&D, software/hardware, business/commercial awareness, and leadership.
The aim is to increase the employability of our students, and show local industry how wonderful our students are! However there are many benefits for businesses, not least that the student's salary is paid for by SEPnet, and it's a risk-free way to identify new talent.
SEPnet have received feedback that students bring a fresh approach to problem solving, enthusiasm, and that often companies use the scheme for non-managers to build management skills. They have been running for three years and can provide recommendations and references to potential hosts.
SEPnet are accepting registrations from companies between now and the 27th January, preferably via our online form http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/55J6B3D
