Marketing Product & Programmes - 12 Month Placement 2025
If you want a student placement where you do loads of photocopying and making people cups of tea, this one really isn’t for you!
Each year we invite Students to complete their placement year with us in our Eco HQ in Surrey. We nickname these students our ‘Future Talent’ because they often go on to do great things, either here at TGB, on our Graduate scheme or in the wider working world.
We are proud to offer a 12 month placement as part of your undergraduate degree, giving you Industry experience in a global brand (but with community feel) organisation. As part of the emerging talent community, you’ll get access to our 70:20:10 learning and development framework*, you’ll have the support of the student community and roll your sleeves up to get involved in specific projects & fundraising to make a genuine difference.
Whether you know the exact path you want to take, just want to dip your toe into working life, or you’ve not really thought about what happens after uni, we’re able to provide you with experience in a generalist sales and marketing business. We’re inclusive and we’ll give you the tools for you to grow into a well-rounded employable graduate.
You might also be a complete petrol head (which is great, but you don’t have to be), love innovation and believe that there’s ‘Always a better way’? If so, read on for more information about our placements and how we make it as easy as possible for you to apply!
