Work Experience

As a Trust we work with a number of local further education settings, apprenticeship providers and local, national and international employers to encourage our young people to have high aspirations for their future. 

We also work with a wide range of employers to offer talks, mentoring and experiences of work to inspire our learners, give a greater understanding about the world of work and to develop employability skills.

Careers education is delivered across the curriculum and students are invited to take part in lots of different and interesting visits to skills fairs, careers workshops and events such as careers carousels.

We actively encourage and welcome outside agencies, employers and education & training providers to come and meet with our students.  We believe that all interactions of this kind can help our students to gain a wider understanding of their options and the labour market. These positive and meaningful encounters encourage our students to consider new ideas which can help to raise their aspirations. Please contact our Careers Adviser for further information on how you can support our young people into meaningful pathways to successful employment.
