Young People
Beyond our formal school programmes, we offer a range of ways for school leavers, higher eduction students, and other young people to continue to engage with Jodrell Bank. Here are some of our projects…
Student placements
Every year Jodrell Bank welcomes students from The University of Manchester’s MA Programmes to assist in our mission to create wonder.
We help students to boldly go to places they haven’t been before, and our placements provide the perfect opportunity to learn real-world skills whilst directly contributing to our ongoing story.
In 2021, our Marketing team welcomed three MA students studying Museum and Heritage Studies and Science Communication. The students assisted with digital development and market research for our First Light Project.
Megan Craig, who joined as a Digital Marketing Assistant, had the following to say about her time at Jodrell Bank:
This placement was a great opportunity to experience professional digital marketing practice and I was able to explore web design and content creation. Supporting Jodrell Bank as they transition through their First Light initiative has been an invaluable experience.
