Genesys Solutions

Genesys operates like a real commercial IT company and carries out its own development and consulting contracts. It is a company with its own premises and its own computer infrastructure. It has a marketing department, a systems administration team, an enterprise team and a number of customer-facing development teams.

It's not unusual for graduates who work with Genesys during their degree to start their own business, or go straight into jobs with leading employers with starting salaries of £30,000 or more (Find out more).

With Genesys you will have the chance to:

• Find customers and research market opportunities for software projects
• Formulate proposals and negotiate contracts with clients
• Deliver training courses
• Act as IT consultants to local organisations
  
• Researching market opportunities
• Keep company accounts

Genesys makes for a much broader and exciting experience than a year out in industry where responsibility is not the norm. Genesys is also mentored by staff from IBM - so if problems do arise, they can help. If you need professional industrial advice about any aspect of your role in the company, they will be able to answer your questions.
