An important element of offering a successful placement opportunity is to make sure that you have a clear understanding of what you are offering and what you expect from the prospective GAP graduate.
Not only will this help us match you with the right graduate, but it will also ensure that expectations are clear from the beginning.
There are a number of guides that you may find useful in planning your placement opportunity and mentoring your GAP graduate during their placement:

Produced by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), this guide gives details of the ‘Internship Charter’ – a voluntary code of practice with six principles that can support employers when devising and implementing high-quality placements.
Work Experience - An Employers Guide
This report, developed by the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR), provides a framework and a set of guidelines that may be helpful in developing and managing your work placement opportunity.
