NewVIc has a dedicated department to help local businesses and those in the Greater London area that are looking to place students in their organisation on a work experience placement. Whether you’re looking for someone on a short- or long-term basis, the team can help you find the perfect student.

NewVIc encourages its students to take part in work experience as it helps them to:
- develop and practice a range of new skills
- relate their college studies to the workplace
- make informed decisions about their future
