How we can help

Employer testimonials

Marlon Commock - Managing Director at Pulse Social Sports Group CIC

"At Pulse Social, our mission is to innovate and drive social impact through community sports initiatives, and the students from St Mary's University have played a pivotal role in advancing our objectives."

"Not only have the students from St Mary's been well-prepared academically, but their professionalism and adaptability in real-world settings have truly set them apart. They quickly integrated into our team, showing initiative and a strong work ethic from day one."

Martin Ellis - Director at Team Umbrella Limited

"The hardest thing about working with placement students from St Mary’s has been choice. They’ve offered us a number of excellent candidates, and my only regret is that we couldn’t have worked with more."

"To anyone considering tapping into the St Mary’s pipeline of talent, my advice would be to stop considering and just do it! The team there make it all so smooth and easy, and we’ll definitely be looking to work with more students moving forwards."
