Placements

Many of our courses provide work placements or other professional work-based opportunities.

A placement can offer you a taste of what life is really like in your chosen field, provide useful work experience and give you a chance to impress potential employers.

Why should I do a placement?

Doing a placement will enhance your career prospects by giving you the opportunity to:

  • Extend skills that you already have and develop new ones
  • Build your confidence
  • Gain knowledge of the professional environment
  • Apply your theoretical knowledge to real-world situations
  • Develop specific vocational and personal skills
  • Make contacts in your chosen industry
  • Gain transferable work experience and skills such as communication and team working
  • Earn a salary.
