Industry Placements
Industry Placements are a Department for Education initiative that give learners structured workplace experience, helping them apply their learning in a real construction setting.
Why Get Involved?
For construction employers, placements offer a flexible way to meet new talent, support future recruitment, and contribute to a more skilled, work-ready sector.
They can work for businesses of all sizes — from micro businesses and SMEs to large contractors and supply chain partners.
A Simple, Flexible Approach
Employers provide meaningful workplace experience, while training providers help with coordination and administration.

The Employer Playbook offers practical guidance, tools, and resources to help employers plan and deliver successful placements.
