Targeted work experience at Coleg Cambria
Coleg Cambria develops effective partnerships with local employers to provide real life work experience opportunities for learners to progress into employment or higher education. An example of this is the NHS nursing cadet programme, where the college has developed strong links with a local health board to enable level 3 health and social care learners to undertake work placements. These are within surgical and medical wards at hospitals and take place during the first year of study; learners then choose a specialist area to progress onto during their second year.
