In conjunction with The Year in Industry Scheme, REACT offers employment to a Year in Industry Student for the period September-July inclusive (or longer).

The year starts with an induction course held at Newcastle University followed by a work placement with REACT. Students will accomplish a work-based project while undertaking challenging work at REACT, working alongside professional, chartered engineers.

Students who have work experience are known to bring a greater breadth ofexperience to their studies. Figures show that 73% of Year in Industry students have so far achieved First and Upper Second Class Degrees. Students will also be able to register on the IMechE’s MPDS Scheme and therefore use the experience gained to directly count towards gaining chartered status.
