Suitable Applicant Description
Ideally, candidates should be working towards obtaining a First or Upper Second Class Honours Degree in Computer Science or related discipline. Candidates must be able to demonstrate a strong aptitude for development of systems in Java and/or .NET using industry-standard development toolkits.
The benefit of a Placement
Placement Students will become much more rounded individuals during their time with Asidua. They will enhance the skills and theory they have learnt at University with industrial experience. They will get to work with very experienced individuals who mentor them in software engineering best practices, and will gain real world experience of working in teams and increase their confidence and communications skills in so doing. They will also gain a better understanding of what a career in IT is all about.
The work based learning or placement is invaluable for the student, as they will gain excellent industrial experience during their time with Asidua since they will work on real projects within the Company, and this will increase their chance of employment following graduation.
How it works in practice
When a placement student starts they go through Asidua’s standard induction process in order to gain an understanding of our Company Strategy, how we work operationally, and details of the work area they are being assigned to. A placement student is treated in the same way as a new graduate – we assign them a supervisor within their project team, and we assess their learning and development needs based on what skills they have gained at University and how this compares with what we need within their project area. In addition they are assigned a mentor who works closely with the student during their placement year. Our placement students will work on real projects within the Company.
