Our mission is to help you find and recruit the skills and expertise you need to grow your business.
Contact usWe’d like to extend our thanks to Ranbir, who partnered with us during the partnership, and would encourage other businesses to look into giving other bright students like Ash the opportunity to grow in a live work environment. For us, it was fantastic to see Ash’s growth in confidence and skill throughout the time she was with us, and we enjoyed having her as part of Team MKL!
Chief Customer Experience Officer at MKL
MKL is a Customer Experience (CX) and Tech (Digital Facilities Management) company that specialises in electrical engineering and transformational IoT technology – especially around sustainability, energy management systems and operational efficiency.
WRIPA partnered with MKL after connecting at a Brand Yorkshire networking event. They identified that a physics student could help support the building of a bespoke EMS (Energy Management System) to sit within their IoT (Internet of Things) platform. The purpose of the EMS is to track live energy usage and spend within a commercial environment.
Ash Sriraman, a 2nd year BSc Physics student at the University of York, applied her programming knowledge and problem solving skills to design, develop and test dashboards that were delivered straight to customers. She demonstrated a great attitude to the tasks given and helped the company to upgrade the platform and customise widgets. Overall, it was felt to be a very positive experience for both the company and the intern. Ash said ‘This internship (gave me) the opportunity to develop individually, try out different/potential career streams, and meet inspirational people in the workplace’.
The project is just the start of a new relationship with the University of York, as WRIPA has helped MKL to connect with other academic departments and projects such as PAPI and the York Management School.
Our team of Business Engagement Officers will help you to connect with our students and graduates. Speak to the team for help with creating an internship, summer placement or research project. We can also advertise your job vacancies to our pool of physics talent. Or if you think we can help in any other way please get in touch.
