REGENWM
Information for Graduates and Undergraduates
The WM Regeneration Placement Service helps people take their first step up the regeneration career ladder. We don’t employ people ourselves, but act as a ‘broker’: matching you to exciting, challenging and rewarding placements in organisations involved in regeneration in the West Midlands.
Why should I do a regeneration placement?
A placement will open your eyes to careers you might not have known about before and will give you the chance to challenge yourself in a professional environment. It’s a great way to find out if regeneration is for you and to get a foot on the career ladder with some real graduate level work experience behind you. Plus, the transferable skills you’ll gain are a must on any top graduate CV.
Don’t just listen to us though, here’s what some of our graduates have said about doing a regeneration placement:
“I liked the fact that I could input my own ideas and get experience of a regeneration project as it started to unfold and develop”(Claire)
“This sort of experience under my belt means that I will be able to progress” (Michael)
Could I apply for a regeneration work placement?
If you are a recent graduate or an undergraduate and have an interest in regeneration then you can apply. You will need to be able to work in the West Midlands region, have buckets of enthusiasm and a desire to learn.
What placements are on offer?
Our placement service is very flexible – we advertise placements according to what organisations in the region can offer at any particular time. This means every placement we offer is different and more become available all the time.
What about undergraduate placements?
Undergraduate placements are even more flexible – we want to give you the chance to get ahead of the game by gaining experience while studying. We often offer part time placements that you can do one day a week during term time and we also sometimes offer full time placements during vacations.
