For over 15 years, Fivium has recognised the paramount importance of emerging talent in driving our company's growth and fostering innovation through our student placement scheme. By collaborating closely with renowned universities such as Bath, Kent, and Surrey, we are able to provide valuable practical experience to aspiring software developers whilst also harnessing their potential to propel Fivium's progress. As the Head Mentor, I am immensely proud to witness the indispensable role our students play in the dynamic growth of Fivium, as well as their profound impact on improving public sector services.

Empowering Young Talent for Growth:

The students participating in Fivium's placement scheme are not mere interns or temporary additions to our workforce; they are a critical component and contributor to our company's success. We recognise their potential and provide them with meaningful roles and responsibilities within our teams. By engaging students in challenging projects and providing them with mentorship and support, they’re able to make a real difference on both the projects and the teams they’re working with.

Fostering Innovation and Fresh Perspectives:

One of the key reasons why our student placement scheme is vital to Fivium is the fresh perspectives and innovative ideas that are introduced to our organisation. These young minds, unencumbered by preconceived notions, inject new energy and creativity into our projects. Their unique viewpoints and up-to-date knowledge of emerging technologies inspire our teams and contribute to the culture of innovation that sets Fivium apart.

Cultivating a Culture of Learning and Collaboration:

Our student placement scheme has instilled a culture of continuous learning and collaboration at Fivium. This plays a crucial role in the growth of every team member at Fivium and is paramount to ensuring we provide a nurturing environment where mentorship, guidance, and knowledge-sharing flourish. The symbiotic relationship between our students and experienced professionals fosters a vibrant atmosphere that propels individual growth and is a key reason so many of our students return as graduates.

Building Long-Term Relationships:

At Fivium, we believe in building enduring connections with our students. The impact of our placement scheme extends far beyond the duration of the program itself. We are proud to see many of our former students return to Fivium as graduates, bringing with them a deep understanding of our company's values and vision. These long-term relationships strengthen our team, as they bring diverse perspectives, enhance collaboration, and contribute to the cohesive growth of Fivium. There’s no better evidence for the strength of those relationships and the attraction of working for Fivium, than the fact that our first-ever placement student is still with us to this day!

Fivium's student placement scheme plays a pivotal role in our company's success. By empowering young talent, fostering innovation, and cultivating a culture of learning, we harness the potential of our students to drive our organisation forward. We are honoured to witness our students' progress and I am proud to see them return as graduates, armed with valuable experience and a shared passion for Fivium's mission.
