Work placements offers young people the chance to develop their confidence, communication skills and can help inform their future career choices. As a professional business, there are also many benefits to supporting a young person in the workplace.
Here at Bury College we provide our students with a range of work placement opportunities, ranging from our standard one-week placements to enhance their soft skills and give them an insight into the working world, to T Level industry placements for up to 45 days for each course.
