Centrica is involved in every aspect of generating, storing and providing energy. They also own British Gas.  They offer a year in industry as part of YINI operated by the Enginering Development Trust (EDT). You apply to EDT and then your application is passed to Centrica. They take on students in a variety of departments and business units and offer you an opportunity to have a placement with responsibility and real tasks. The YINI programme has an engineering bias, and Centrica would expect for you to have a background/interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) subjects. Participants of the scheme also have the opportunity to enrol in a free management scheme and a certified maths course at Loughborough University.

As an employer of STEM related employees, Centrica want to show you that there are a variety of roles that you could do and fantastic career prospects in STEM function roles. They hope that you may return to join their undergraduate summer placement programme or graduate programme or secure a role post placement.

The year long placement is paid.
