About Us
Student PlacementAt BusinessLab, we welcome undergraduate students working with us as part of their industry placement. Over the last 10 years we have had many students join us, building their own skills and knowledge and adding value to the work we do and how we do it. Placements are offered wide and varied business experience and responsibility. Students joining BusinessLab are considered to be part of the team and supported to play a full and active role, ensuring they get real value from their time at BusinessLab .
"I recently completed my student placement at BusinessLab and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Straight from the start I was welcomed into the team and given responsibilities. At the beginning I sat down with my supervisor to discuss which skills I want to develop and what areas of work I was most interested in. I have had the opportunity to travel and attend meetings with potential clients, and really feel that the work I have undertaken is not only valued but also adding value and contributing to the business."
