Industry Placements
Industry placements give learners the opportunity to develop their practical and technical skills in a role directly relevant to their study programme.
They also give employers the chance to ensure that young people are developing the skills and experience that industry needs.
At Coventry College, we are looking for employers across all sectors to work with us to offer industry placements.
Benefits to your business could include:
- Developing staff mentoring and management skills
- Improving the recruitment pipeline for your business
- Giving opportunities to young people from a wide range of backgrounds, leading to a more diverse workforce
- Bringing in new and imaginative ideas
- Building partnerships with local training providers
- Tapping into new talent for the future
The Industry Placements Team
Our dedicated industry placement team aims to strengthen links between learners and employers.
The team helps to match learners with suitable placements in workplaces which relate to their areas of study (some study programme students only require 20 hours work experience for each academic year).
Based in the College’s Employer Engagement and Sales area, the team develops relationships with employers and works closely with them from the start to finish of a placement and links with college curriculum areas to ensure each learner’s work placement is tailored to reflect their college programme.
