10. Placement support
“I can’t think of a downside. Students take the theoretical practice into the workplace and see things through.
It gives the student a chance to see if they enjoy the job, and the employer a chance to assess the student and take them on full-time if they fit in with the culture and they feel they can trust them.”
Mike Hill – Chief Executive at Prospects (The Guardian 2016)
