Industry placements for Health and Science roles
How might industry placements work for Health and Science roles within your organisation?
An industry placement is an extended period of structured time that a student spends in your workplace, developing real skills and making a meaningful contribution to your organisation. Many employers are already offering industry placements, which will be a fundamental part of T Levels – a new course designed by employers for 16-19-year olds, which combines classroom learning with a substantial industry placement (at least 315 hours).
Industry placements can work in many roles within your organisation. In this free 1-hour webinar, we’ll give you an overview of what industry placements look like for Health and Science roles, how to make sure it is a success for you and the student, and the government support now available to help you.
