ProspectSoft Ltd wins 2010 National Council Work Experience Award


ProspectSoft has been named as one of the best places to get an internship after winning an award at the National Council for Work Experience (NCWE) Awards 2010 on Monday.

ProspectSoft beat off five other businesses to win the crown in the '10-250 employees' category. The winners were announced on Monday, where myself (Lorna) and the Marketing Manager, Patrick Johnson attended the NCWE Awards Ceremony 2010 at Merchants Taylors Hall in London. The whole event was truly remarkable and was a delight to attend! There was a real emphasis on how critical work experience is to both the student and company, and it really gave me a true insight into how beneficial it will be to my career that I have taken a year out of university to work at ProspectSoft.

Gordon McKenzie, director for the office for graduate opportunities for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills presented 23 NCWE Awards across 11 categories, rewarding companies that have demonstrated exceptional work placements, which make a real impact to both the undergraduate student and the business.

Heather Collier, director of the NCWE comments: “We’re now in the seventh year of the awards and their increasing popularity reflects the growing importance of work experience in allowing students to develop skills while providing companies a talent pool for recruitment. ProspectSoft demonstrated that the scheme is really working for the company in terms of long-term hires that are recruited from the programme. With more companies competing than ever before, they have done exceptionally well.”

Only in January did ProspectSoft win the “Best Small to Medium Sized Enterprise” Award at the RateMyPlacement Ceremony, so this was truely great news for the company!!!
