Almac Group: does its industrial placement year sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyIndustrial Placement Year

Unconfirmed. Almac Group publishes no sponsorship policy for its industrial placement year, so we cannot state a firm answer. The placement is designed for second year undergraduates on a degree that requires a year in industry. Almac offers placements in analytical chemistry, chemistry, information services, engineering, project services, operations and quality. Placement students work on specified work based projects over the year rather than shadowing. The stated selection criteria are being in at least the second year of a degree, excellent written and verbal communication, good planning and organisational skills, and an enjoyment of analysing information and solving problems. Two named former placement students on the page returned to Almac as permanent Production Project Coordinators after graduating. Neither a placement salary nor a visa sponsorship position is published.
