While at college, you will get the opportunity to participate in work placement with an external employer or in realistic experience of work projects. This forms part of the study programme for students in further education.

Work placement consists of a minimum of 35 hours of unpaid work. During the work placement, you will attend work each day with the employer. This will take place instead of college that week, allowing you to develop industry experience and skills for your CV. The college will oversee the process from start to finish, providing any necessary support along the way.
