Give the next generation a head start
Work experience is vital to young people as it provides them with real-life experiences within the workplace.
We work with a variety of employers who provide placements for students to gain experience in their chosen field and develop practical or employability skills which are hard to gain in the classroom or workshop.

Benefits of providing work experience
Hosting work experience in your business comes with a wide range of benefits including:
- Connect with the next generation of workers
- Inject fresh ideas and new ways of thinking into your business
- Support the growth of the business through recruitment of new team members
- Engage with your local community
- Improve your reputation
- Develop coaching and mentoring skills amongst your employees
By hosting a work experience student, you are making a huge impact on their career progression and opportunities. A work experience offers students:
- Experience in the workplace and insight into jobs and sectors that they have an interest in
- Increased confidence, social and employability skills
- Experience to build their CVs
- Opportunities to progress onto paid employment with the company
- Gain skills from the on-the-job training which they may not get while studying.
Hosting T Levels placements
T Levels are a technical qualification, equivalent to 3 A Levels, offering students the chance to split their studies between classroom learning, and an industry placement.
Each T Level student completes an industry placement that lasts a minimum of 315 hours (approximately 45 days). This is a great opportunity to help develop new talent in your industry, and give young people the chance to develop new skills and gain valuable experience.
