Boost Your Employability

Completing a placement year was the best decision I made at university and to have it be at The Walt Disney Company was extremely rewarding. In addition to the amazing experience and breadth of knowledge behind the entertainment industry that I have gained, I am grateful for the network that I have built during my placement.
