Summer Student Placement in Cheshire, Chester

The program, which offers summer employment opportunities at various Pfizer sites in the U.K., is designed to help Pfizer businesses and teams accomplish real, impactful projects, while giving students engaging and meaningful work experience.

Departments across the Pfizer businesses and supporting divisions can accept summer student workers, and Pfizer works to match students with the department or team that most closely matches their future career interests. During the summer, students will receive challenging work assignments, have the opportunity to collaborate with Pfizer colleagues at all levels of the organization and experience Pfizer's culture first-hand.

Summer workers are evaluated with seriousness, and students will receive valuable feedback that can help them develop their skills and competencies. In most cases, student workers will be included in their teams' regular activities, including team meetings, working sessions, and meetings with internal and external stakeholders. Many student workers form long-term relationships with mentors, advisors and peers.
