Self Placement

• Most successful placements occur when the student and
  family organise their own – this is called a ‘Self Placement’;
• The time to start looking for a Self Placement is NOW, as
  places rapidly become booked up because of the
  competition for places;
• Placements can be in a range of jobs – as long as it is safe.
  Students will not be allowed to operate machinery;
  
• Some types of employment are very popular, eg sports
  centres, Manchester City Stadium, etc – you must approach
  these employers now to have a chance of securing a place.
• All Self Placement forms must be returned to the school by February 2012.
