That sounds like it’s a requirement of your sixth form/college not a strict part of the course.

So you can do any work placement that sounds interesting - it doesn’t have to be art and design linked.

What sort of things have you looked for so far? What areas of art and design are you interested in?

Don't know where you are based. Have you thought about approaching digital agencies?

Digital has a lot of design roles and the design process isn't dissimilar to product design (so Double Diamond etc is quite common). My consultancy is in user centred design (for digital services) and don't see enough good designers

Most towns have smaller digital agencies who might be able / willing to help - the one man bands probably aren't suitable but anything a little bigger is worth a look?
