There are a number of options:

You could arrange phone calls/online interviews with students before the deadline so that you can make your decision and make an offer/offers to students.

If this is Phase 1, you can wait until Phase 2 to engage with students. Please note: many students will be matched in Phase 1 so there will be less students available in Phase 2. Additionally, APPEL cannot guarantee that the same students who sent their CVs to you in Phase 1 will be available in Phase 2.

If this is Phase 2, you can contact APPEL to let them know that you would be interested in meeting any students who are not matched at the end of the process.

Unfortunately, to be equitable to all placement providers, timelines cannot be adjusted for individual placements. It may be helpful to consider if you would like APPEL to temporarily change the contact for your placement to a colleague within your organisation.

 

If you miss the deadline, you will not be able to make an offer to a student in that phase.

If a Training Establishment wishes to reimburse a student for their time on placement that is a matter solely between the Training Establishment and the student.

Training Establishments are neither expected nor obliged to reimburse students for their time on placement; therefore all placements are treated equally within the APPEL matching system.

However, payment may be one of the factors considered by students when selecting placements.  Placement Providers can indicate if they intend to reimburse students in their placement description.

Placements can be paid or unpaid. The decision to offer payment is a matter for each placement provider. Placement providers can provide an indication of reimbursement in the placement description that will be available to students when selecting their placement options.

In this case, please log in to www.appel.ie and click on the “MyAPPEL” tab.  Please inform the APPEL team ops@appel.ie about the broken link.
