Work experience placements
All work experience positions have now been allocated until December 2012 and we are unable to accommodate any more students at this time. We will be accepting applications for 2013 from October 2012.
If you are interested in a placement with Maximillion in 2013 please contact Sarah Esslemont, sarah@maximillion.co.uk, after October 2012. Due to the high number of speculative applications we receive, we are unable to respond to any emails before this date.
All work placements are based in our Edinburgh HQ, 12 miles from the city centre, and we are unfortunately unable to pay work placement students or contribute towards expenses. We do, however, ensure students receive varied and interesting opportunities, are fully integrated into our team, and are well looked after and mentored while they are with us.
Applicants should:
- Have a very high standard of spoken and written English
- Be available for a minimum of three months to get the most out of the experience
- Have a passion for events and event management
- Have a friendly manner and open attitude
Some comments from previous work placement students:
"Working at Maximillion broadens your mind, you get to know loads of new people and you can have a lot of fun, too. I am glad that I was a part of the team and could make all these precious experiences."

" I really liked the atmosphere in the office and felt fully accepted by the team. I learned many things related to my studies about event management, but I also learned things I wouldn't have epected at the beginning."
Stefan Brand, Germany
