b'Work placement opportunitiesAll students are given the opportunity to complete at least one work experience placement.The Schools close links with a wide variety of employers mean that students have access to all industries and occupational areas.With employers actively involved in the life of the School, students have the opportunity to work alongside industry specialists on site and in the workplace and many of our employers actively choose to recruit Thomas Telford students and on some occasions support them financially through their degree studies. The Sixth Form programme is designed to be flexible so some students also complete ongoing work placements on a weekly basis, alongside their studies.Apprenticeships and employmentThe Careers Team have created a network of contacts within the local business community to enable them to signpost students to the full range of apprenticeship and employment opportunities.Employers are encouraged to contact the School directly for recommendations of students for employment.It is the responsibility of every Sixth Form student to maintain the Schools reputation in the business community.Many students secure highly sought after higher and degree apprenticeships with employers such as EY, KPMG, Deloitte, Epson, Unilever, GCHQ and Capgemini.www.ttsonline.net 15'
