placements

Where things go

Placements are positions where something or someone is put.

The placement of furniture affects a room's flow; the placement of an ad determines who sees it.

In education, placement refers to assigning students to appropriate levels: She tested into advanced placement.

In employment contexts, a placement is a job arrangement, often temporary: The agency found him a placement at a law firm.
