Visha Nakrani

University: Aston University
Company: High Vision UK Ltd
Project: The London-based company specializes in rope access and abseiling.  Most of the services they offer involve high-level maintenance.  Visha’s project involved directory marketing, developing High Vision’s website and designing/implementing an electronic presentation to attract potential clients. 

“Working closely with the Managing Director has taught me a lot. It’s been a thoroughly enjoyable and educational experience and I can now say that I would consider setting up my own business. Being offered a part time job with the company proves how much of a success the project has been-for both parties.”

Kristina Karmann

Company: Nomis

“This scheme has been a time for me to explore, try new things, make mistakes, solve problems and learn. I’ve acquired a range of technical and soft skills and I leave knowing that my work is appreciated and that it’s had a huge impact on the company.”

Joel Osborne

Sunny Tailor

University: University of Derby
Company: iPlato, providers of a mobile healthcare text messaging reminder service to patients. 
Project:  The company, which has offices in London and the Czech Republic, had no formal IT Infrastructure so their primary goal was to achieve a stable network in which workflow could run more efficiently. Sunny centralised file storage, created roaming profiles and increased security of files. He created technical solutions, built software onto new hardware and worked with Microsoft engineers to overcome a complicated software-related problem.

“I have concentrated my knowledge to provide a secure solution to enhance the company’s work flow. The next immediate project for me is to go to the Czech Republic to install the same solution for the developers and then interconnect the two sites. The project has proved to be very successful and has added a great deal of weight to my CV.”
