This case study is about Network75 an innovative work placement scheme that was introduced at the University of Glamorgan in 2000. The scheme created a network of 75 companies aiming to support and attract young people into engineering/technology. In order to acquire academic and practical training in Mechanical Civil or Electrical Engineering students study for degrees part-time over five years while working in a host company. Students receive a bursary and study free of charge helping to widen higher education participation by minimising the financial constraints involved. Network75 has further developed its course offering in response to demand from companies and potential students for courses right across the Faculty of Advanced Technology and University of Glamorgan. We currently have Network75 students in engineering built environment business and accounting disciplines.
This case study is presented in English and Welsh.
