Success Stories “Around a quarter of learners have been offered a job or apprenticeship to start at the end of their course” “Placements help learners to cement their plans following their studies” “I was expecting to be making coffees and sweeping floors but I couldn't have been more wrong. Instead I've been given a real responsibility and the opportunity to potentially be the chief executive officer of a company and make difference in the health and social care sector.”

Challenges Student Preparation Knowledge, skills and behaviours required in the workplace Takes time! Employer engagement Big step up from work experience! Extra resources/new structures Good success in pilot Do not want to be contacted by everyone! Internal Planning Finding the curriculum/timetabling days is difficult when applied to study programmes Matching is very important, a good match reduces likelihood of non-completion. But it takes time Communication Early communication to staff, parents/guardians, students all important
