In this webinar, employers shared their experiences planning and hosting T Level industry placements in the NHS.
Speakers
By hosting T Level industry placements, you can bring in the talent you need to support your short and long-term workforce plans, whilst allowing the student to gain practical experience and to embed the knowledge learned in the education setting.
This webinar provides practical insights and good practice examples on how to plan and host T Level industry placements in the NHS.
