Feedback
Matheson student feedback:
I really enjoyed the work experience with Matheson, it gave me a proper insight it to the work life of a lawyer and the different departments. It was really fun, especially the court visit, since you see first-hand what a case in court is like and you also have the opportunity to ask any questions if you are interested in a career in law.
Everyone in Matheson was so welcoming and helped me whenever I had a problem or had any questions. I know now that I really want to go to college and pursue a career in law.
Designer Group student feedback:
I really liked my time in Designer Group because there was a lot to do. I was put into 3 different departments and also went to the training academy for the last two days. Overall I felt like I had a good understanding of what they do.The staff were very friendly and answered our questions, they also made sure we felt comfortable.
Stelfox student feedback:
This experience was great, I got to experience a little bit of everything and learn about all the different jobs and I now have the best CV. I didn’t know much about IT Recruitment before and it’s definitely a job I will consider for the future.
Verve company feedback
“Verve were delighted to be part of the NEIC programme and host 5 Transition Year students for the week. The students were both creative and eager and participated in onsite and offsite projects. We enjoyed working with them and to see them grow in confidence, in such a short space of time, was a rewarding experience for the students’ and Verve”.
