Work Placements
We are very proud of our Employer Relationships here at Runshaw.
These links are essential in making sure our curriculum offer gets our students #futureready for their next steps. We meet regularly with our partner employers through our Employer Partnership boards.
In addition, many of our partner employers offer our students the chance to see what real work is really like, essential in helping students gain vital knowledge and employability skills that can only be obtained from working in a real-life working environment. Depending upon a student’s course, they will participate in a Work or Industry Placement. Click below to find out more about how we use our Employer Partnerships to get you #FutureReady!
