DESCRIPTION

Employability is a key priority for students and educational institutions. In today’s competitive market, an increasing number of institutions recognise the potential of placements and work experience to help their students secure a good job following their course. For institutions, managing the placement processes efficiently across the board can be a challenge as the placement lifecycle touches upon employer engagement, student learning, administration and tracking and more. At the University of Nottingham, the CIePD have been working with placements professionals to introduce technology into aspects of this lifecycle and would like to share examples of our practice and tools with others in the Higher Education and Further Education sector.
