Burton and South Derbyshire College is one of a select number of training providers chosen to offer students on Level 3 Technical Education courses the exciting opportunity to take part in an industry placement. As part of your son/daughter’s course, they will spend 45-60 days working for an employer in an industry related work placement. This will help them put their learning into practice, develop their skills further and become more employable.

This event is an opportunity to find out more about the new industry placements and to ask any questions you may have.

Come to our open day where you’ll have the chance to speak to tutors, learn more about courses of interest, tour the College facilities and get involved in exciting demonstrations and Have-a-Go activities!
