An integral part of GO Wales work placements is the City and Guilds Professional Development Award; all individuals on placement complete this short work based qualification which allows them and the host employer to make the most of the experience.
GO Wales work placements are periods of employment that are designed to offer students and graduates good quality work experience in Wales. Our research has shown that in some cases work placements lead to a longer–term position with the host company.
In order to help as many people as possible, GO Wales is now limiting the number of placements that an individual can have to two. You can apply for as many placements as you like, but once you have had two placements, you will not be able to apply for any more. Please contact us if you have any queries about this.
