Hands-on industry experience
Every year Unitywater hosts undergraduate university students, providing an invaluable opportunity to get some real-life exposure to the workplace. The program offers a unique, hands-on experience and insight into their intended career. Our 2025-2026 intake comprised of 20 students, who joined us for a three-month paid placement over their summer holidays. Students worked right across the organisation, from a range of disciplines including:
- Engineering
- IT
- Media
- Legal
- Innovation
Some of these students were fortunate enough to be offered ongoing work, and others moved straight into graduate positions in our two-year Graduate Development Program.
