Dover Technical College has a team of Industry Liaison Officers who support our students to gain relevant work experience.
At Dover Technical College, our students take part in relevant and meaningful work experiences as part of their study programme with us.
Work experience allows our students to boost their CVs, put new skills into practice, and network with professionals in the industry they want to work in.
Our Industry Liaison Officers along with our employer partners offer our students the opportunity to participate in 'Industry Guest Speakers' and ‘Employer Hotseat’ talks, work experience, and industry visits.
To ensure our students get the most out of their work experience, each pathway has its own Industry Liaison Officer. Each Industry Liaison Officer will work with their students on a one-to-one and small-group basis to identify their employability skills and support them in securing work placements.
