GET PLACEMENT READY

A work placement is a learning experience both in a personal and professional way, so it is important to make the most of the opportunity and stand out from the crowd. 

T‌o help you do this, we have created a 'Get Placement Ready' Playlist on Personal Best, where you can find engaging and helpful resources and activities to improve your wellbeing on placement, and how best to prepare and develop before, during and after your placement.

To access these, just log into Personal Best using your University login (ensuring you are connected to the VPN).
