Their partners and clients include Scottish businesses, international educational bodies and students from both universities and vocational education. The team take a personal and caring approach to meeting the needs of each stakeholder: the student, the business and the school – working hard for the benefit of all.

As founder Fanette Genais comments: “I was keen to develop a service where trust, quality and real professional development could be gained by both students and businesses. I love working with a wide variety of businesses and seeing the positive impact our services have on both the employers and the interns is really satisfying.”

Students have been placed with a wide range of businesses in and around the Edinburgh area; all of whom are selected for the quality of the professional development they are able to propose to the students coming to work with them.

Having forged strong relationships with educational partners in Finland and Spain, the Placement Factory team is now looking to expand their client base further across Europe and is keen to hear from all Educational Bodies considering Edinburgh as new Mobility Destination for their students.
