Industry Placements at Sparsholt College
As part of our Level 3 courses in land-based subjects, full-time students aged 16-19 will complete a work placement with an industry-specific external employer or voluntary organisation. A win-win for both students and employers, industry placements provide opportunities to apply knowledge learned at college to the workplace, develop relevant industry-specific skills, increase confidence, communication, team work and problem-solving techniques, test your career choices and aspirations and line up an employer reference for future use.
One dedicated placement day per week will form a part of our students’ weekly timetable across the academic year. Students are expected to source a potential placement opportunity prior to the start of their course. Our Industry Placement team will be here to support and guide you from start to finish should you require their help.
We offer a fantastic choice of industry placements and our Industry Placements Team will be here to support and guide you through the process from start to finish.
The Industry Placement team are wonderful and helped me set up a placement investigating the effects of a new pesticide combined with other factors on honeybees. It was a great experience and I learnt a lot of new skills that I will take with me to university. – Jasmine, Animal Management Student.
