Sonam朋友

计算机科学学士学位（工业年） 学生索南（Sonam）一直对技术充满热情，并被计算机和计算机相关专业的广泛就业机会所吸引。

“I’d love to be a part of an industry which is consistently changing and evolving. It is also a flexible and multiskilled industry, so you can choose to try different areas over the years.”

在计算机科学领域有如此多的职业可供选择，Sonam一直确信，在她的学位上增加一年的行业实习将有助于获得一些专业经验和对工作生活的洞察。

“You can develop skills you’ve learnt in more depth when completing an Industrial Year and gain more technical and soft skills. 你也有机会接触尖端技术，发现更多的工具，这些工具可以帮助你在大学的最后一年。 And lastly, it does make you more employable after graduating as you will already have one year of professional experience and you will gain many valuable connections through networking.”

许多国际高科技公司的英国或欧洲总部离雷丁大学很近。 这些与行业的良好联系，使像索南这样的学生能够进行短期实习，或者代替一年的专业经验。

“I enjoyed my summer placement a lot. 它让我更好地了解我喜欢什么样的工作角色，这对我寻找一年实习机会的时候很有帮助。

“It helped me to realise that I love the area of automation and I would read job descriptions for placement opportunities which included this area. As a result of my summer placement, it helped me during the interview process for finding a year placement, as I had work experience to talk about.”

索南在两家不同的公司获得了为期两年的带薪实习，以最大限度地提高她的职场知识和经验。

她在UKCloud Ltd担任了六个月的云工程师，该公司的工作环境是混合的，主要侧重于自动化。 在这个角色中，职责包括计划、设计、实现、管理和维护云基础设施。

随后，Sonam在SiXworks Ltd担任了6个月的平台工程师。 职责包括设计、构建和维护支持部署和软件的技术平台。

“I was able to get hands-on experience with automating jobs that were once manually done, and make reusable code for developers, so they do not have to repeat some steps each time when doing development work. 我还学到了很多以前不知道的技术和工具，比如Docker Containers和CICD pipeline，这些我现在知道在任何公司都是很常见的。 自信和演讲技巧在我实习的一年里发挥了很大的作用，因为你需要向一个更大的群体展示你的工作。

“Doing a placement year allowed me to talk to people that have worked in this field for many years. I had great mentors and received great advice on how to start my career after university.”

作为她的工业年的结果，Sonam在SiXworks获得了一个平台工程师的nba投注职位。
