Stimulated Work Experience
Depending on your courses and content, the college will facilitate a period of work experience (such a work placement or internship) can radically improve your employability. Getting a good qualification is still important, but work experience allows you to develop additional skills and quality that will impress recruiters.
Why is Work Experience Important?
Getting a good qualification is on its own not enough anymore. With increasing numbers of students going to university, graduates with good degree are easy to find. However according to a survey by the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR), graduate employers are still having problems filling vacancies.
‘The Largest Factor [is] a lack of applicants with the right skills.’
Says Carl Gilleard, Chief Executive of the AGR
Employers are likely to be looking for graduates who can demonstrate softer skills such as team working, cultural awareness, leadership and communication skills, as well as academic achievement. If you’ve chosen your career path already, work experience will demonstrate your commitment and is particularly important for careers such as IT. If you haven’t decided what you want to do, it’s a good way to try out different courses and develop your transferable skills at the same time.

What types of work placements are students permitted to take?
(http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/pbs/Tier4migrantguidance.pdf) The below guidance are from UKBA website and is applicable to Graduate Diploma courses at MCHEMT
- a Tier 4 (General) student studying a course of degree level study or above, or
- a Tier 4 (General) student studying a foundation degree course, or
- a Tier 4 (General) student studying a course below degree level with a highly trusted sponsor, or
- a Tier 4 (Child) student who is 16 years old or over
- Example 1. Course is 2 years Masters – 12 months at the institution + 12 months workplacement.
- Example 2. Course is NQF level 4 Diploma – 26 weeks classroom with minimum of 15 hours a week + 26 weeks work-placement arranged at end of course or at any time throughout
- Example 3. Course is NVQ level 3 with work-placement run concurrent with study – 15 hours classroom each week at the institution + 15 hours work-placement (any additional hours worked in the week could be allowed as part of the general student entitlement to work part-time during term-time – but such additional hours could not be an assessed part of the course and would need to be arranged directly between the student and employer rather than by the education provider)
