Work Placements
A good work placement provides vital employability skills and context to learning for a student, but have you considered how a placement can help support your business?
- Fresh eyes on a problem
- Up-to-date and current knowledge of an industry
- The ability to view products and services from the client/customer perspective
- Experience of the digital environment
Various models of work placement are available and our team can support you to assess the needs of your business and help match you with the most appropriate learner.
Selby College offers a wide range of courses so we are able to support most industries. Our learners can support work placements in the following ways:
Extended Placements
These placements can be one or two days per week over an academic year, providing the opportunity for learners to undertake specific work-based projects or develop skills in line with your specific business needs.
Block Placements
These are shorter duration placements of 1 or 2 weeks, which can enable you to support business needs whilst providing valuable experience for the learners.
Commissioned Projects
The opportunity to work with small or large groups to undertake specific tasks such as marketing campaigns or market research.
