Work placements typically last for three weeks & provide students the opportunity to develop both professional & soft skills.
Partnership projects allow both students & staff to work in collaboration with European partners to develop vocational skills, educational tools & in doing so share innovative ideas & approaches.
Students are supported to participate in these placements but have to meet the selection criteria of their curriculum area. Students are accompanied by a member of staff in the first week of the placement and for the second and third week are expected to fulfil their placement requirements with the support of the European host.
