Overview
EDT (Engineering Development Trust), offer young people active learning experiences in STE(A)M related careers, giving them the opportunity to gain knowledge and exposure that will help them make decisions about their future. We help place students aged 17+ in Year 13 or S5/S6 (Scottish equivalent) or undergraduate students in top UK companies and organisations every year, including, Rolls-Royce, EDF, Network Rail, Scottish Power and P&G.
Details
Typically, the programme lasts between 10-12 months and is a paid placement.
The Year in Industry has vacancies with companies working in technology, science, engineering, business and finance across the UK – from leading FTSE 100 companies to small innovative start-ups. Around a quarter of all our students are sponsored through university each year and many of our 300 partner companies see The Year in Industry as an important part of their graduate recruitment programme.
What will be involved?
For the duration of the placement, you will work on projects that will enable you to gain valuable work experience that employers are looking for. You will receive full support from The Year in Industry through a year-long mentoring service at the company, including on-site visits from the YINI team.
How it works

- The company will interview the student and decide whether they want to offer a placement to the student. If they do the EDT will relay the offer to the Student.
