Charlotte Dexter (Business Development Industry Placement Lead)
“The Connect Platform is straightforward to navigate and allows for the College to manage and track the entire Work Experience and Industry Placement Journey for both the Employer and Learner as well as record encounters with Higher Education and Employers. Connect enables the learners to interact with the platform and take ownership of their Work Experience Journey via the student App. Through the App, our learners complete the Placement Readiness Programme, submit Self-Placements, view their upcoming Placement details, submit Self-Assessments, and complete Work Experience Feedback all within one platform. Connect has helped the College streamline the Employer Engagement process by storing all employer details and interactions in one place and has made collating Risk Assessments and Employer Appraisals much more time-efficient. The Data Exchange Service enables the College to monitor the Work Experience and Industry Placement progress and has streamlined the reporting process”
