Helping young people in our community to progress and succeed following Covid-19
Living in these uncertain times has impacted us all, as a college we are dedicated to supporting our students to develop the confidence and skills they require for their future careers, which we achieve with employer support. First-hand experience of the work place is vital to a student's training and development and we do hope you will be able to support our work experience programme in the coming difficult months to enable our students to achieve their qualifications.
The college is also committed to supporting its local community and its businesses; work experience can help fill skills gaps in the short term and it will allow you to see how potential employees suit your organisation culture.
What are we looking for?
Employers who are prepared to support the initiative by offering work experience placements to our students. We have a dedicated team of work placement officers who can support and guide you through the process.
Why should my business get involved?

What does it cost your business?
