Introduction

These sessions have been created to help support you through your short placement. They have been put together in collaboration with students and graduates who are currently or have recently done placements or internships. Their experiences are at the core of the support available here. As you work through the sessions you will do individual activities, contribute to community conversations and learn from the experiences of your peers.


The sessions cover, planning and preparation, working with your employer, and, reflecting and expressing. The first two sessions should be completed before you begin your placement, sessions 3, 4 and 5 should be completed during your placement and the final sessions should be completed towards the end or after your placement.


These sessions will help you get the most of out your experience by helping you to clarify and express your goals, providing you practical tools to manage your work and helping you to cement and express your learning from the placement.
