Training and employment

APPRENTICESHIPS AND EMPLOYABILITY

If you are looking to progress into an apprenticeship or straight into employment, we can help you by identifying possible employers and supporting you at every step of the application process. Throughout the year there are visits from industry experts, including for our series of ‘Careers in…’ Days, which will help you explore the options available to you. Together, we will work on the skills that will give you the best chance of success at job interviews and selection panels for apprenticeships and competitive sponsored degrees.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Our work experience programme benefits from excellent links with renowned employers, who provide challenging and constructive placement opportunities. Placements can take place throughout the year (e.g. three hours per week, across two study periods) or during every student’s dedicated work experience week in the Second Year.

WORKING WHILE YOU STUDY

Many students will undertake part-time work whilst at College. We recognise the skills this can develop but ask students not to exceed 12 hours of paid work per week as this can affect your performance in your studies.

Every student has access to our dedicated Work Experience Coordinator
