So the time is comming for me to find a placement year for university and how fun it will be! I have started looking over the summer and university will be getting into the hunting with me over the winter.

I was wondering if you guys know of companys near you who employ in the IT sector. my target is to move out of the UK for the year, see something differant and to experiance how things work somewhere else in the world. I understand that my university has links to germany and italy what both sound interesting so Im going to do more research into that.

What is the primary goal? to work in networking, database, storage or programming sector as I find these most interesting.

General IT sector would be acceptable such as repair tech.

Any advice/tips about employment would be great :)
