Cranswick: does its year long industry placement sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Cranswick publishes no sponsorship policy for its year long industry placement, so we cannot state a firm answer. Cranswick offers year long industry placements to students at what it calls its trusted educational partnering universities across the UK. Placement students are described as embedded roles inside departments rather than extra headcount. The package is a competitive starting salary, which Cranswick does not quantify, plus a company discounts portal and the Cranswick eLearning portal, and a quarterly placement student forum hosted at a different manufacturing site each quarter. Applications are made by sending a covering letter and CV to placement.applications@cranswick.co.uk naming the placement applied for, followed by a virtual or face to face interview. Successful candidates join in the June or July after their second year. No visa or right to work position is published.
