Work Placement Testimonial
"After completing the Women's Course (EWT) at Nisus Scotland, I undertook a work placement at Edinburgh's Telford College in the Student Services Department.
"I enjoyed this experience very much and it allowed me to update my workplace skills which assisted me in obtaining employment in an administration post.
"I have been able to use the skills I gained to be more effective in my job and they have given me the self-confidence to fulfil my personal goals. This was such a valuable opportunity and I enjoyed every minute I was on the course."

The Work Placement normally runs for 12 – 20 hours per week for a period of 4 to 5 weeks. Exact details can be negotiated between the student and employer.
