PLACED ACADEMY STUDIO
Over the years PLACED Academy has been asked to run programmes for younger groups keen to learn more about careers before deciding their options. In response, we’re excited to announce that we will be running two programmes for young people in Years 7, 8 & 9.
Available to 60 young people across the Northwest (no matter your location), with 30 spaces in our Liverpool venue and 30 in our Manchester venue, PLACED Academy Studio will take place over the February Half Term. The programme is just 2 days long and will give a taster to the main Academy.
