We are very fortunate that 2 of our local placement providers, SAP and Ascot Wealth Management, have taken
part in our video profiles to talk about placements and the benefits
they can offer to students looking to undertake a year out in industry.
Firstly
I talked to Lindsey Rowe who is Chief of Staff/ Head of People &
Programmes Office at Feltham based SAP, the world's leading cloud
business software company. Lindsey is passionate about promoting such a
programme with University students saying “I am privileged to work with
absolutely outstanding students at the very start of their careers”.
Lindsey
talks about the benefits of the placement programme for the both
students and a company like SAP and gives students concrete ideas of
what they should do if interested in working for a company like SAP.

A
number of Royal Holloway Management students have undertaken placements
with SAP in the past and 2 of our current YIBs, Adam and Michael are
currently on placement with the company, one working in Role Ops and the
other in the Account Management team.

I
was also thrilled to conduct an interview at local SME, Ascot Wealth
Management, a company that has also recruited a number of our students
over recent years. Catriona McCarron, Wealth Manager, also shared valuable tips with prospective applicants and was joined in the
interview by her current placement student, RH Management
student Connor Griffiths. Listen here for more insights: http://yibprofile.blogspot.com/2019/07/ascot-wealth-management-placement.html
