Student placements and work experience

We recognise the importance of work experience and the benefits that it provides to the student. It helps gain exposure in a chosen field under the supervision of a council officer.
Placements may be in the following areas:
- Corporate Services
- Regulatory Services
- Planning and Development
- Environmental Health
- Parks and Gardens
- Children’s services
- Libraries
