This is a new, exciting opportunity that will grow your confidence, provide
you with genuine industry experience and help you network in your
specialist vocational area. Previous participants have even gone on to get
paid work with their placement provider. These placements will be a weekly
commitment of 1 day per week in addition to your college days, over the
academic year. There are however limited places available so if you are
interested in taking part in this programme, either speak to your tutor or
