Employer opportunities

Summer Placement participants wearing hard hats and high-visibility safety vests stand in front of maps and planning displays in an office environment.

This initiative offers employers a valuable opportunity to give something back to their community by helping young people gain essential workplace skills. It is also a chance for employers to make a positive impact on the local workforce by supporting young people in developing a strong foundation in the industry.

A number of employers supported the programme in 2024, 2025, and 2026. As we move forward, we would like to get more businesses involved.

We recruit and carefully match students to placements that align with their skills, strengths and career aspirations, helping them gain valuable real-world experience.

If you would like to find out more about the programme and what's involved in hosting a placement, please complete our expression of interest form, and a member of the team will be in touch with further information and to discuss how your organisation can get involved.
