Chestnut Project Assistant at GlaxoSmithKline

“We were really delighted with the number of students who wanted to speak to us at the selection event.  GlaxoSmithKline does not have as big a profile as some of the other major players in Cumbria but there was lots of interest.  We have supported Dream Placement from the start, and it has our full backing to help young people to explore their options and make informed choices.  From the business point of view, it raises our profile and we are constantly amazed by the calibre of young people we meet.   We put a lot of work into the programme allowing our placements to experience leadership at every level of the business.  They also learn from the people they meet that there is not just one route for a career – it is a career climbing frame, not a ladder!”
