Abstract
Industrial placements can play a key role in developing an individual undergraduate’s softer skills, giving the opportunity for experiential learning, which is often sought by employers when selecting future employees. This article reviews current student industrial placement activity in the United Kingdom, a typical recruitment process and the implications for stakeholders. The combination of good academic achievement and the demonstration of broader skills developed in a varied work place environment where responsibility, collaboration and teamwork have been practiced and developed over time are highly appreciated by employers.
