Knowledge Dock has been managing student/graduate placement programmes for ten years. Since 2000, we have placed hundreds of students and new graduates into small and medium sized businesses to work on projects.  Placements are usually between four and 12 weeks in length, and can be undertaken part time or full time.

In such a competitive graduate recruitment market, building your CV and gaining work experience is vital to get on that first rung of the career ladder.

“Employers like to see that applicants have some business awareness – having an insight into what is happening in industry or commerce and the impact this could have on the organisation.” (Graduate Prospects, 2009)

You will be paid approximately £200 per week. To apply for projects you must be in at least the second year of your degree programme or a new graduate.

• Talk about voluntary work and paid work experience
• Up to date information
