Placements 2006

[Toby]

I am currently sorting out the placements for the summer, so will start to call people pretty soon.

There will be excavation placements only. It will not be possible to do the guiding placements on the new site as that will be organised through DIG (http://www.digyork.co.uk/) separately.

At the moment I am trying to put people into the slots they have requested before I call them. With the limited number of spaces in accommodation (and the fact that I will be trying to use it for the trainees) it will be difficult to get placements into it.

If there are still spaces at the university closer to the date in question I will be willing to open them up to placements... obviously the trainees have priority.

So I will keep hold of the placement details and may contact people closer to the dates in question if there is space for any additional placement positions.

I should have now contacted everybody re-placements for the summer, some people may have an e-mail waiting for them.

Sorting people for dates proved to be very difficult and it is the case that availability was the key factor in some weeks.

I will hopefully get stuff sent out to placements over the next few days, depending on schedules.

There is still a chance for people who did not get a position this time to get one later on, as there could be people who drop. If this happens I will let people know as soon as I can.

Thank you for all the applications.

The placements should have an e-mail/s with attached files regarding the site etc.

I will send out a written confirmation to them when we have sorted out their details and admin bits after an official form has been sent to me.

The way it is going with accommodation it is unlikely there will be spare places for placements who are not already at the accommodation.

Make sure you get any forms etc back to me asap so I can process stuff.

Cheers,

Toby
