Avara Foods: does its placement year sponsor a UK visa?

Unconfirmed. Avara Foods publishes no sponsorship policy for its placement year, so we cannot state a firm answer. Avara Foods offers a paid 12 month placement year, usually taken in the third or fourth year of a degree. The streams it typically runs are Engineering, where the student acts as an Asset Manager monitoring downtime, planning maintenance and running root cause analyses and FMEAs, Agriculture, supporting a Farm Manager on day to day farm operations and animal welfare compliance, and Technical, supporting the Quality Management System, customer complaints, specifications and GMP audits. The published package is £21,840, personal development workshops with fellow placement students, a pension contribution scheme, lifestyle benefits and support with the end of placement report. Avara says placement students often return as graduates. The available streams change each year with business demand, and no sponsorship position is published.
