We’ve relaunched our PLACED Academy Alumni this week! It promises to be an exciting network of brilliant opportunities for anyone who has completed 80% of a PLACED Academy Programme. You can ask to sign up via kim@placed.org.uk.
Some of you may be wondering whether the Academy or Alumni is right for you. We heard from PLACED Academy graduate, Diya Calleechurn, who told us about her experience and encourages people to sign up to the Alumni.
We’re excited to be launching our updated PLACED Academy Alumni today, offering a space for Academy graduates to be supported on the next steps of their journey. As part of the Academy Alumni, participants will receive exclusive opportunities and access to a range of work experience, mentoring, workshops and events from companies across the built environment sector.
The Alumni will include a range of experiences for you. You can commit as little or as much time as you’d like, with regular check ins from the PLACED team.
Did you graduate from a PLACED Academy programme? Did you attend 80% or more of the programme? Want to join the Alumni? Please email kim@placed.org.uk to fill in our form!
We’d like to thank the following companies who have already committed to being part of the journey; LDA Design, HATCH, shedkm, AFL Architects, Buttress, ISG, OMI Architects, Avison Young, FWP, Jon Matthews Architects and David Miller Architects.
The PLACED Academy 2023-24 is now officially over half way through! From our summer school with Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) and The University of Liverpool on the Spatial Development Strategy, our participants have taken part in a range of sessions and been part of live projects. We’ve plenty more to come!
At this stage of the programme, we’ve reflected on what we’ve done so far and pulled out some key statistics to demonstrate the impact to date. You can see some of the key facts below, and you can read the full interim report here.
