Trips, Visits and Competitions

At The Sheffield College, we know that hands-on experience is vital, not only in helping you to understand theoretical learning but also in terms of making you stand out from the crowd when it comes to applying for jobs. That's why all of our health and social care courses have a strong focus on practical experience so that you will feel confident in your abilities when you come to start work.

Our study programmes also have an element of work experience, so you can feel confident that you’re prepared for the working environment once you finish your studies. Having that experience on your CV will make you stand out to potential employers in this competitive industry. You’ll also benefit from the knowledge of industry experts and will have the opportunity to take part in class study visits to enhance your learning.

Work-related Activity and Industry Placements

You will be encouraged to spend time with an employer in a real-life working environment as part of your study programme. This could be experience of work or an industry placement, depending on what kind of course you are studying.

Facilities

Health and social care can be studied at three of our campuses, each of which hosts a range of facilities. These include dedicated classrooms, a mock hospital ward complete with training dummies, ultrasound machines and a state-of-the-art emergency care training suite.

We aim to replicate the working conditions of the health and social care industry as closely as possible so that you can develop the skills you'll need when you come to enter employment. We want you to feel confident in your abilities so that you can jump straight into a job you love.

What can I do once I finish my studies?

We encourage all of our health and social care students to undertake work experience placements as part of their study programme, and our brilliant tutors can offer you help and advice when it comes to arranging a placement.

The health and social care sector is one of the largest employers in the UK, and it doesn't show any signs of slowing down. In fact, there is expected to be an increase of 950 new jobs in this sector by 2028, and that's just in the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority!
