Work Placement
Work Placement Overview
As part of each degree each student is required to complete 15 weeks work experience, September to December (Health Promotion & Exercise and Health) and January to May (Recreation Management). Work Placement is viewed as an essential element to each degree and is considered a working partnership between an employer, Waterford Institute of Technology and each student to enhance and broaden the practical skill base of each student. The work placement programme also provides students with an opportunity to actively engage in “action learning” and to integrate classroom theory with the “real world of work”.
