Dream Placement is a unique collaboration between educators, businesses, and young people, offering essential leadership development opportunities for all applicants aged 16-18. For some, this leads to a week-long placement in industry during February half-term, showcasing leadership in action, helping young people make informed choices about their future, and connecting businesses with their future workforce. The programme spans six months across Cumbria, giving all participants the chance to develop skills, confidence, and insight into a range of career paths.
