INDUSTRIAL PLACEMENT INFORMATION

As part of our annual recruitment, we currently employ Year in Industry students in our Design Department, Parts & Accessories Department as well as in certain manufacturing areas of the company. All industrial placements are based at one of two Triumph factories in Hinckley, Leicestershire.

During this year, 2008/2009, we have 14 students working for us in various departments throughout the Company including Design, Accessories Design, Assembly and other areas.

A placement year at Triumph typically commences during July and runs until August of the following year. A competitive salary is paid during the period of employment and students are given 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays).

Assistance is offered to students when they initially join us by way of paid hotel accommodation for an initial period of 4 weeks to allow time to settle in and find alternative accommodation. Accommodation is usually sourced through a number of students and graduates sharing local rented accommodation.

Outside of work there is plenty to get involved with, including sporting activities such as football and cycling as well as organised events which have included wakeboarding, karting, trackdays, Team nights out and the Three Peak Challenge. For nights out there is Hinckley itself or alternatively the cities of Leicester and Birmingham are both within easy reach.
