Propose your own Placement
If you are required to propose your own Placement location, which will then be approved by a Anthology Portfolio administrator, you will use the Placement Finder to facilitate this process.
NOTE: The Placement Finder does not need to be used by students if the local administrator is setting up Placements for each student, in which case they will automatically appear on the My Placements screen. If you are unsure if you should be applying to, or proposing Placements, check your My Placements screen first and/or contact your local Anthology Portfolio (formerly Chalk & Wire) Administrator to inquire.
