Great Plains College offers a robust Business program designed to equip second-year students with foundational and intermediate business knowledge. The Placement course provides learners with practical, work-integrated experiences that bridge classroom learning with real-world application. This course aims to develop critical skills such as problem-solving, professional communication, and project management.


Our students are eager to observe and engage in meaningful work, gaining realistic job experience while developing a professional attitude. Through this placement, they will learn about business operations, managerial roles, and the dynamics of employee-employer relationships. Your guidance and feedback will be instrumental in shaping their future careers.


As an employer, your role involves regular communication with the learners, offering guidance, and providing all necessary information for the project. You will be virtually present at the final presentation and provide constructive feedback through the Riipen platform.
