Samantha Mettrop’s experience, Digital Industrial Placement
“I took the opportunity to complete a placement at EDF because I knew it would give me the opportunity to contribute to something outside of my degree. I’m passionate about the environment and the energy industry is going through a massive change to provide low carbon energy. EDF is currently leading the way in terms of making this a reality.
I wanted a placement where I wasn’t going to be given the mundane work that nobody else wanted to do. This programme offers me the chance to contribute in ways that would actually make a difference to the company. At university you can be made to feel like nothing matters apart from meeting your deadlines, here I’m treated in a manner where I come first and my work comes second; it’s really refreshing and has made me a lot happier.”
