NCWE Awards 2010-11

The NCWE Work Experience Awards recognise employers whose internships have made a real impact to both the student and the business.

Firmly established as the biggest work experience awards event of the year, the NCWE Awards provide an excellent opportunity for organisations to show future interns and placement tutors the thought, time and effort that go into making sure their students get the very best from their placement programme. Finalists also set a fine example for other employers to follow.

The winners of the 2010-11 Awards were announced at the NCWE Awards presentation on 22 March 2011, held at Merchant Taylors' Hall in London. View the NCWE Awards 2010-11 souvenir brochure to find out more about the event and the winning organisations or find out about what our guests thought of the event.
