Our track record in student placement for voluntary work is excellent, although it’s important to note that success isn’t always guaranteed. Our goal is to secure a placement for you within a reasonable one-hour travel distance from your home. Additionally, we encourage you to proactively reach out to potential employers in your local area, as this proactive approach can significantly enhance your chances of finding a suitable placement more swiftly.
The matter of payment between you and your employer is a private arrangement, and the college does not intervene in this regard. It’s worth noting that different employers have varying policies when it comes to payments. Some may begin paying you right from the start, while others may require you to learn the basic roles before initiating payment. This is something you can discuss during your interview process.
Our services are geared towards assisting you in your job search journey. We provide support in creating an up-to-date CV and offer job interview preparation. It is worth mentioning that our track record demonstrates a high level of success, with nearly all of our students securing professional employment within three months of completing our courses.
