"I enjoyed the Micro-Placements Programme, it gave me insight into different businesses and sectors that I didn’t even know existed. I’ve also learnt a lot about myself in terms of my strengths and weaknesses. The Micro-Placement team were always on hand for support too" - Psychology student (BSc)

"I enjoyed the experience and was glad to be a part of it. I definitely learnt many employability related skills that can be transferred to jobs!" - LLB student 

"The Micro-Placements assessment centre and interview process was a really good opportunity to experience how recruitment processes work and the assessment centre tasks were very relevant to current issues hence was more engaging. Participating in an interview at an employer’s office once I was successful onto the Programme, again was an invaluable opportunity to gain experience and confidence in preparing for interviews in the future" - Business Management student (BSc)
