More students than ever are entering higher education, so leaving university with a good degree is simply no longer enough to get the graduate job you want.

If the course you’re interested in doesn’t offer placement opportunities, it’s a good idea to get some industry experience, before, during or after completing your degree.

Even if you’re not sure what you want to do once you graduate, a YINI will provide you with excellent industry experience that you can use in your CV to give you the competitive edge.

Each year YINI partners with over 250 leading companies in the UK, including Airbus, AstraZeneca, British Energy, Network Rail, QinetiQ, Rolls-Royce and Shell.
