How might industry placements work for digital roles within your organisation?

There is no charge to attend this webinar.

An industry placement is an extended period of structured time that a student spends in your workplace, developing real skills and making a meaningful contribution to your organisation.

Many employers are already offering industry placements, which will be a fundamental part of T Levels – a new course designed by employers for 16-19-year olds, which combines classroom learning with a substantial industry placement (at least 315 hours).

Digital placements are applicable in a wide range of industries and workplaces. In this 1-hour webinar, we’ll give you an overview of what industry placements look like for digital roles, how to make sure it is a success for you and the student in the current circumstances, and the government support available to help you.

The webinar will cover:

• What are industry placements and T Levels?
• What do industry placements look like for digital roles?
• The business benefits of offering industry placements, for example: cost-effective channels for recruitment, fresh ideas, talent pipeline, reputation in your community / industry
• The difference between apprenticeships, industry placements and work experience and how they can work together
• Roles and responsibilities: for you as the employer; the student; the college, the school or other provider
• Case study insights from those already offering digital placements
• The government support available to help you
