Graduate shadowing scheme
Graduates given head start by Food & Drink Sector
Health and safety graduates looking to get
a head start in the job market are being offered work placements by
the world’s leading organisation for health and safety
professionals.
IOSH’s Food and Drink Group is currently
piloting the organisation’s Shadowing Scheme, to offer health and
safety graduates at least three months experience of the world of
work.
Although the project will be officially
launched at the IOSH National Food and Drink Manufacturing
Conference on 4 and 5 October at Nottingham’s Belfry Hotel, the
Group is now encouraging graduates to apply and companies to pledge
shadowing places.
The Scheme is designed to match graduates’
academic knowledge with practical experience of real-life work
situations, and takes them through all the day-to-day
responsibilities a health and safety advisor has.
Greencore took the first graduate on the
Scheme. Ernest Apau, who has an Msc in Occupational Safety and
Health from the University of Greenwich, was also offered an
extension to his contract, proving how vital it’s been in giving
him his first full-time post.
Over the next few months the Food and Drink
Group website will feature news, company and graduate profiles, and
all of the latest developments.
