Work and Travel Brochure
This is part of a Work and Travel brochure of Canada, and i dont know how to translate into context the word placement.
context:
(second sentences, "they get placements from...")
Workshop 1 is common for Young Workers and Work Wise clients. Work shop 2 has different contents uniquely developed for Work Wise clients. They get placements from WTL and do not need a lot of the information that’s provided to Young Workers Essential client’s. The focus for Work wise clients is to do well during the interview, keep the job they have been offered and work & perform well as an employee in Canada.
thanks in advance.

Me limité a ofrecer mi opción a "they get placements from"; la palabra placement no solo se limita a la naturaleza temporera de la colocación o empleo, puede ser también permanente. Para aclarar el desacuerdo del colega CERES Trad, cabe añadir la palabra "temporero/a" para indicar que estos trabajos no son generalmente de naturaleza permanente si bien hay pocas excepciones en que sí lo son. En Puerto Rico, por ejemplo, muchas compañías ofrecen empleos temporeros a estudiantes, ya sea a tiempo completo durante sus vacaciones de verano o a tiempo parcial durante sus estudios. Estos trabajos son en áreas relacionadas con su campo de especialización. Los mismos les ofrecen la oportunidad de ganar un mejor conocimiento en la misma o son parte de su currículo que les exige hacer dicha práctica. Aunque muy válida, la palabra "pasantía no es usada acá.

obtienen pasantías a través de WTL
Después de investigar en internet qué es WTL y de qué se trata, creo que esta sugerencia es una buena opción.
Suerte!

I think this is a matter of regionalisms. "Placement" is the same as "pasantía" in Argentina (it meets all its characteristics: informal conditions, student-oriented, temporary). As Remy said, in Puerto Rico this is known as "empleo temporero". So, now you need to choose one option based on the target country of your translation. Good luck!
Suerte!

CERES Trad
: Por su naturaleza informal ("casual jobs"), se refiere a pasantías. Placement = A job, usually as part of a course of study, which gives you experience of a particular type of work (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English).
