We have a suite of pre-arranged placement opportunities and the team will meet with you at the end of year 1 to ensure that we match you with a suitable placement, which meets your professional career path aims. We encourage you to utilise your own professional network to source independent placements, and our team will work with your contacts to secure and manage these additional Industry Placements. Our business organisations will use an interview process to recruit their placement students.
