Summer Scheme (Work Experience)
We operate a "Summer Scheme" throughout our UK Commercial,
Building Surveying and Planning and Development offices each year.
This offers prospective APC candidates the opportunity to come and
experience working at Savills first-hand.
Places are available for people looking for work experience prior
to making an Autumn application to start the Graduate Scheme the
next year.
To apply for a place on our Summer Scheme, please complete an
online application, found in the "Apply" section of this website.
Those shortlisted may be interviewed on the telephone by someone
from our Graduate Management team, which is made up of
RICS-qualified staff and HR professionals.
During a placement, there could be the opportunity to go on site
visits, attend client meetings, write reports and conduct research.
We also hold attend departmental talks to learn about other areas
of the business and meet directors from across Savills for
lunch.
Sporting events are organised for summer students to meet our
current graduates in an informal situation, the Graduate and
Training Manager also gives you an overview of the APC and
recruitment process.
We expect everyone who joins our Summer Scheme to have objectives
of what they wish to achieve over the 4 week period. These are
reviewed at an informal meeting after 2 weeks. At the end of the 4
weeks a full appraisal is given by the head of department to give
useful feedback on performance.
This scheme gives the chance to learn a lot about the way we work
to help decide whether a career with Savills is the right choice
for you. It remains the best way to strengthen your application for
our graduate programme.
Applications for the Summer Scheme 2011 have now closed. They will
reopen for the Summer Scheme 2012 in the first quarter of
2012.
What our Graduates say:
Many thanks for a fantastic 4 weeks at Savills. I found the placement very useful and it has definitely given me a much deeper insight into the day to day work that I could expect to do on the Graduate scheme
I just wanted to say thank you again so much for my place on the summer scheme. It was an invaluable experience. I have learnt so much and yet again it has confirmed to me that Savills is the company I hope to pursue a career with in the future
