The closing date for the awards was 6th January and we received our highest number of entries to date with 230 plus nominations over the ten categories. Entries were of a very high calibre and covered all sizes and types of organisation.
The number of nominations from students who have been on a work placement and wanted their provider to be recognised for their scheme has also been very encouraging as it shows how many students value the experience gained from their time on placement.
