Severn Trent Year in Industry 2027

Pays £24,460 a year.

NoYear in Industry

No. Severn Trent does not sponsor its year in industry for international students who need a visa. Severn Trent's early careers application advice page draws a direct line between its graduate scheme, where it says applicants must separately meet Home Office right-to-work rules, and its Year in Industry and internship placements, where it says sponsorship is not available at all. It does note that students already studying full-time in the UK may work during their studies or holidays if that complies with Home Office rules and they can evidence it through their university.
