Why are work placements useful?
Here's what our students said:
The WorkReady Partnership
The WorkReady Partnership enables students to ‘earn’ badges showing the time they have spent on work placements that they can use on their CV and LinkedIn. Employers are looking out for this accreditation to see that students are ready for the world of work.
Additionally, employers who are WorkReady Partners can display the logo to show that they are invested in skill development.
Work Placement Examples
Students completing the Level 3 Health & Social Care Extended Diploma have the opportunity to for placement at Noble’s Hospital, as one of the UCM Stripes. Find out more here.
As well as other Work Placement opportunities
