You will also have a STAR student mentor to help you find your way around and show you the best bits of the office!
**So how does it work?**
The STAR Program is the part time job that gives you a competitive advantage over other students when you graduate, looks great on your LinkedIn profile and provides experience learning soft skills such as:
· Networking
· Customer facing communication
· Internal presentations
· Job shadowing
· Project management
· Time management
**In this role as a STAR student, you will have the opportunity to:**
· Experience different aspects of our business, often via 6 month rotations
