Promotion within their company for sponsored students is common since the programme enables them to match higher job expectations and demands. Employed students often bring a work-relevant topic to their individual projects, giving them the opportunity to display newly acquired skills.

Recent graduates are employed by or have secured roles in a range of industries, at companies such as Alstom, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, WSP, Network Rail, Uniper, UTC Aerospace Systems, Cummins, Babcock, UK Ministry of Defence and Inmarsat, to name a few, in positions such as graduate, systems, software and functional safety engineers.
