Chris Cowie started at The University of Northampton in 2007 and received the Alan Casey award for Industrial Achievement for his Northants Engineering Training Partnership (NETP) placement at Wykes Engineering.
The NETP Placement scheme is a fantastic learning opportunity, providing experience in a variety of engineering industries. During the placement year my engineering and general professional work skills have improved enormously, and the whole experience has been brilliant. Getting paid to learn and develop as an engineer is a chance not to be missed!
After completing the NETP placement scheme I had the honour of being awarded the Alan Casey Award for Industrial Achievement. I was so proud of myself, and feel that the prestigious award will enhance my CV enormously. I have since been offered a three day working week contract at Wykes Engineering which allows me to complete my final year of study and top-up my HND to the full BSc (Hons) whilst gaining further invaluable experience in the workplace.
