As a communications tool, video is one of the most versatile around.

Here's a link to an exellent article on the Wistia blog detailing five separate applications for "corporate" video. It details how video can be used for product demonstrations, customer testimonials, training purposes, help & support in the form or video FAQ answers, and even as alternative to cold-calling!

As the price of high quality video to fall and distribution technology advances, this trend looks set to continue apace.

Here’s the third in a series of 3 videos promoting the E-Skills UK internship programme, an industry-backed student placement programme designed to boost the employability of graduates. Students participate in a period of employment within an organisation – usually for a year – during which they develop a rich blend of business, interpersonal and technical skills.

In this video, we meet Thomas Coles, who is currently working at Network Rail, inbetween studying for a BSC in Information Management & Business Studies at Loughborough University.
