Dates for Industrial Placement/Lärande i arbete
From the 18th of April 2011 companies are welcome to contact students about internships. Before that you are welcome to TGA to inform our students about your company and what you do.
Internship (LIA) for the class of 2009 starts the 29th of August 2011 and it ends the 6th of April 2012.
The industrial placement period is 30 weeks in total. The students get regular funding from the state during this period as it is considered a part of the education. If you are a company interested in having a student from The Game Assembly you are welcome to contact us. Many Game Developers come to us and present themselves to the students. This is a way to let the students get to know different companies.
The Game Assembly will have Meet and Greet in the middle of April. During a Meet and Greet-evening several companies presents themselves for our students.*
Higher Vocational Education Courses, HVECs, cover a wide range of vocational areas, but they have one goal in common, namely the provision of advanced vocational education, tailored to the needs of the labour market. In HVECs a modern approach is taken where theoretical learning is integrated and blended with vocational practice at the workplace.
Vocational practice at the workplace, also called internship, is at The Game Assembly 1/3 of the education. It is 30 weeks, 6 months, placed in the end of the education.
Our students apply for their own internship in the same way you apply for a job. The Game Assembly coaches each the student to write a cv, a personal letter and make a portfolio that will lead to a “vocational practice at the workplace”.
You need to have a fully equipped work place and you need to have a tutor/mentor for the student. The 6 months the student are at your company needs to be an developing experience for both you and the student.
