Question

Anybody with an information on companies offering industrial attachments to computer science students??

Answer 1

whilst you ar waiting to get placement, specialise. Since you have already made your mind to go into networking, how about doing network related courses like N+, ccent or juniper

how long do these courses take

---

lts depends on your understanding and the method you are using to learn.

Self-study, N+ is vendor neutral and might take you 6 months or more, ccent is cisco specific but also on the same introductory level like N+ and might take 8 months or more.
Once you master ccent, or got ccna, juniper might be your next stop if you want to broaden your understanding and marketability.

Answer 2

A lot of companies offer industrial attachment, however the mistake most students make is to just shoot an arrow in the dark.

You need to be clear about what in computer science you would like to get into. The rese rese approach doesn't work coz no one is looking for a rese rese student for attachment. Are you a developer? Are you networking guy, would you like to do sys admin etc... Identify what you are targeting and look for a match, then present your specific and special contribution you will make as a student.

The days when students were just taken and dumped in the IT department, without them contributing their talents and skills to the organisation's work are long gone. Like they should be.
