Placements in practice - Grow, scale and improve: Take your existing placement offer forward
Placements in Practice is a practical employer-to-employer series with separate sessions for employers new to hosting and existing hosts looking to grow, scale and/or improve their T Level industry placement offer. Each 1-hour session brings employers together around a relevant topic, with an experienced employer sharing practical experience and space to ask questions and learn from one another.
Already hosting T Level industry placements?
Compare approaches with other hosts, explore ways to increase placement opportunities or involve more teams, and share ideas for improving your existing offer. You do not need to be planning expansion to attend – improving the quality of your current placements is equally relevant.
This is not a formal training course or policy briefing. The focus is on practical solutions, honest experience and useful connections that help make industry placements work for the business as well as the student. Employers can bring a question, listen to others or share their own experience.
