preplacement

Setting beforehand strategically

Preplacement refers to activities or assessments that occur before someone is placed in a position, program, or setting.

Most commonly seen in educational and employment contexts: a preplacement exam determines which courses a student should take, while preplacement training prepares workers before they start a job.

The foster agency requires preplacement visits with prospective families.
