Gill Year In Industry Students

The Gill Group first joined the Year in Industry scheme back in 2011 to support students entering a career in engineering, develop their skills and experience and bring fresh thinking initiatives to the company’s development projects.

After another successful year with our students, which saw three student projects get shortlisted in the regional finals for their contribution to business award, Gill will be looking for more talented individuals to fill the available placements and help shape new engineering developments.

As a Year in Industry student within the Gill Group you will be exposed to a range of engineering specialisms from testing and processing to software and hardware design. We will encourage you to lead your own projects and explore new techniques and engineering practises that best suit the requirements and scope.

This year’s student, Rory Jenkinson comments, “a Year in Industry placement improves UCAS applications and CV’s. The experience I have gained from a working environment will be invaluable during university and future employment. I would definitely recommend Gill to anyone going into STEM subjects and for me, especially for electrical engineering.”

Gill also takes on student placements for a range of different departments around the company to provide valuable insights into the business world and encourage a passion for engineering.

Gill Year in Industry Students make Regional Finals

Gill is proud to announce that 2 Year in Industry placement students have been shortlisted as finalist in the Engineering Development Trust (EDT) South East Regional Finals for their contribution to business.

CIatu6_WsAAIh5MGill students, Harriet Brien and Tom Wall successfully made it through to last month’s semi-finals of the Contribution to Business Award, where Harriet was recognised for her inspiring work on the project to improve test coverage on Gill Instruments latest product release, MaxiMet.

Tom, who has been working on a project to greatly reduce the time to process test data using Excel Macros , has also made it through to the Regional Finals taking place on Thursday 25th June 2015, where he hopes to become one of only 8 students chosen for National Finals in September.

As proud supporters of the EDT programme, the Gill Group is now in its third year of participating in the scheme, which places over 30,000 young students into Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematic placements each year. We are extremely pleased with all our students and are delighted to take on talented young people. We will continue to work closely with the EDT to grow our Year in Industry placements.
