Work Placement 1 is the first of two opportunities for a student to gain workplace experience in the communications industry. The three-week placement allows students to apply the skills they develop in the Creative Communications program, get professional feedback on their abilities in the workplace, determine specific areas of interest in the communications industry, and test their skills against the demands of the workplace.
