How do companies benefit? Having a placement student (or an intern) offers many opportunities for the host company:
Extra resource with additional skills to tackle projects otherwise put on the backburner
Injection of new ideas in an area where you have a skills gap
Chance to reduce the workload of staff so they can take on more complicated and skilled work
Completion of specific tasks
Opportunity to give a potential employee a thorough trial without obligation
Awareness of the latest research through closer links to the University
Cost-effective method of overcoming temporary staff shortages, particularly during busy periods
Reduction of recruitment and training costs when placement students are employed after they graduate
