USW Placements have been busy working with our employer partners to build a range of “Virtual Experience Programmes” (VEPs).   VEPs can be completed remotely from the comfort of your own laptop and typically include a short industry challenge project or a series of simple exercises that provide an insight into a particular role within an organisation.  

Our first VEPs are available now for USW students and graduates to access via the ‘Programmes’ section on CareersConnect.  We also have a number of other VEPs in development which will be added shortly.
