  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I enjoyed my placement year with Flowserve. I learnt a lot of valuable skills and they provided me with a topic for my final year project which allowed me to come in and work for them during my final year. This gave me the opportunity to take advantage of the knowledge and skills of colleagues here, provided me with a project which was relevant to industry and also kept me on the payroll so I was paid for doing my university work :D
