“Getting selected for an IBL placement at Accenture has been a dream come true for me. I really enjoyed everything to do with my placement and learnt many different things, from both a professional and a personal point of view. I worked on a major project that involved so many different areas of IT and interacted with seven teams with different roles. 

To cap it all, I was offered a graduate position at Accenture.  A memorable, exciting and formative experience that I truly believe will kick-start my career in IT Security. I truly recommend the IBL program.”

"Completing an IBL placement made me very excited about my future prospects in the Environmental Science industry, as it gave me a better insight into the types of work I may like to pursue in the future. It was a fantastic way to gain hands-on experience, build up my confidence, and develop contacts in the industry. There were many fun field trips, and
my colleagues were always friendly and supportive. I thoroughly enjoyed having such a hands-on experience as part of my course"

"My IBL placement was fantastic. I was amazed at how much I learnt in only 12 weeks when experiencing the work first hand. I was able to consolidate the theory I had learnt at University and also learnt new skills, which will help with the remainder of my studies. It was great to see real-life applications of the things I've studied at University and to get a feel for the industry.

At the end of my placement, I was offered on-going employment at Insight and I now work for the business part-time around my classes, which I thoroughly enjoy."
