Our motivated students can provide a pool of untapped talent for your business. Placement opportunities can also help to develop your own staff’s mentoring skills and boost morale.
We can match our career focused students for short work experience or the new extended Industry placements which can last for a minimum of 45 days. Industry Placements are part of the government’s reforms to technical education aimed at boosting productivity and giving young people the skills your business needs.
There is no employer financial commitment and we can provide travel, subsistence and equipment costs where needed.
