Objectives of Placement
Networking
Industrial placements may become an opportunity to build up an industrial network or even a mixed academic-corporate network.
Communication and image
Placement is an activity which develops outside the institution, and which offers firms an opportunity to see at first hand what a graduate of a given institute can do. For this reason the placement policy and its outcome are integral to communication policy.
Policy of quality
Placements increasingly appear as the climax of the educational process. The quality of the placement policy is a yardstick in the overall quality of the institution.
Identification of obstacles, strategy
Placements provide first-hand information on the match between young graduates and jobs opportunities. Institutions may analyze this information and make the necessary adjustments to their strategy
A global view of the assessment process
The interests and expectations of the different participants are linked. Meeting one’s own expectations also means conforming to the other participants’ expectations. Each one is simultaneously the observer and the observed.
A successful placement for a student will depend on his education institution, the firm that receives him and his own capacities and motivation.
