As thousands of students start university or head back for their second and third years, we thought we’d ask someone who actually knows.

Harriet Lovell recently joined us at Cortus for work experience, and while she was here we persuaded her to take part in our video!

We asked Harriet what it’s really like being a student today, how she’s thinking about her future career, and what students need to keep in mind when looking for work experience and internship opportunities.

It’s an interesting perspective – not just for students, but for businesses thinking about how they attract and engage the next generation of talent.
