I have thoroughly enjoyed my placement year at Randstad. I immersed myself in the professional work environment, which I believe allowed me to develop in personal and professional aspects. The placement has enabled me to create friendships and connections that I would never have made without this opportunity.

Deciding to complete a placement in my final year greatly aided my studies with first-hand practical experience. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to learn more about Port/Ship Agency; without this placement, I wouldn’t have gained invaluable industry knowledge.

The experience at my work placement was eye-opening and created career opportunities I had not contemplated before. After having a break from enrichment activities during the pandemic, the placement helped me to get back into the work environment, providing current experience for my CV.
