Dont Just Believe Us.

• We have had an unambiguously positive experience
  with the programme. The students who have joined
  Goodbody have been enthusiastic, talented and
  have added real value to us. While they have
  gained valuable experience of commercial life, we
  too have benefited significantly from their
  contribution. They are a credit to the university
  and to themselves and have proved to be very
  popular with our team members. The recruitment
  campaign was organised very professionally and
  the process was seamless in its execution. We
  have no hesitation in recommending the programme
  and are proud to be participating in it.

Dont Just Believe Us

• We have found the students who join us on work
  placement from UCC to be professional,
  hardworking and focussed. They quickly integrate
  into our organisation and add real value to the
  teams they join. Taking UCC students on work
  placement has been a worthwhile investment for
  our organisation a relationship we would hope
  to continue into the future.
