Placement means arranging or positioning in a specified location or level. Objects, individuals, or activities are usually placed according to a design or plan.

Specific meanings and examples include :

  • Marketing - including brand name merchandise in non-advertising productions (product placement in a movie)
  • Military - locating groups, or elements (the placement of artillery)
  • Education - assignment to a grade, level, or school (advanced placement exam)
  • Employment - providing potential work venues (job placement)
  • Social services - relocation of orphans, abused minors, or juvenile offenders (out-of-home placement)

Generally, placement refers to a ranking of some kind, and a person's or object's place in the ranking is that person's placement. It can also have a related meaning where an individual is 'placed' with a certain group or in a certain class based on the individual's strengths challenges and needs.
