The Science Council want to understand how your organisation can be best supported to offer technical education placements, regardless of whether you currently offer them, and they have commissioned specialist research agency Shift Insight to conduct a survey and interviews. Share your perspective on support mechanisms for employers in this 5-minute survey for a chance to win one of three £100 prizes.
