63 which give undergraduates realistic insight into how businesses operate in the commercial environment . Even if ultimately , a student decides against a career in technology , experience in the workplace is transferable and will increase their value for future employers .
Undergraduate placement programmes are also hugely valuable for the companies that offer them ; they ’ re where you start to identify your future talent . It has worked well for Egress , with several of our current staff joining after spending a year with us during their undergraduate studies – with even more on their way following graduations in 2019 / 20 . Having got to know these individuals during their placement year , we can be confident that they have the right cultural fit , the skills potential we need , and are ready to grow alongside the business .
