We have heard this week that AppSwing are one of four companies that have been shortlisted for the National Council for Work Experience (NCWE) awards. The NCWE Awards are an annual awards scheme designed to encourage and reward organisations – whatever their size or industry – that display good practice in work experience. AppSwing are in the under 10 employees categories. We have been recognised for the work that we have done over the last few years in providing work experience for a number of students and young people including to several university students are part of the STEP programme.

When I was studying I was lucky enough to gain placements through school (Amey), college (Rutherford/Appleton Labs) and University (IBM). Each provided me with valuable experience about what working life was likely to be like and, in my case, confirmed that I wanted to pursue a career in computing. Knowing how valuable a work placement was to me I wanted to offer similar opportunities to others through AppSwing. To be recognised for the quality of the placements we offer is great and will hopefully help us attract more students in the future.
