Work Experience Team and Student Placements

Our Work Experience Team works in partnership with employers across London to create valuable, high-quality placement opportunities for our students. These experiences give learners relevant, real-world insight that complements their studies and meets curriculum requirements, ensuring they are well prepared for the expectations of modern workplaces.

We coordinate placements that support employers in developing future talent while giving students essential hands-on experience. Many of these opportunities have led to employment in sectors such as accounting, business, administration, IT, childcare, construction, and health and social care.
