"I鈥檝e gained valuable skills and knowledge that will undoubtedly help shape my future career" - Millie writes about her placement so far

3 February 2025

Animal Health student Millie Van Der Wal has written about her first six months on placement with animal feeds company ABN as a Harper Adams scholar.

Writing for her employer on their website, Millie explains that she first spent time working on a large-scale pig farm. “I had no prior experience in the pig industry, so this was a steep learning curve, but it gave me invaluable practical knowledge. I now have a much greater appreciation for the work that goes into running a high-performing farm.”

Millie then moved into customer support, developing valuable communication skills.
