To support our achievement of Gatsby Benchmarks 5 and 6, we are committed to ensuring that our learners have meaningful encounters with employers and hands-on experiences of the workplace through industry visits (WOW Days), Meet the Professional talks and work placements.
Work placement is an immersive experience which enables students to visualise the world of work, explore different job roles and develop opportunity awareness.
The year 24/25 saw an increase of 154% on the previous year in the number of placements completed by students. These placements form an integral part of students’ personal and professional development, providing valuable real-world experience aligned with their individual learning goals and career aspirations. There are a variety of work placement opportunities on offer to suit the individual needs of our learners including external work placements, internal work placements and student ambassador opportunities.
- Sophie Preece is our Work Placement Coordinator.
- Learners can request a copy of our Work Placement Brochure from Sophie and complete a placement application form, specifying their top 3 employer/job role preferences.
- Learners will then be invited for an interview and matched with an employer.
