The life prospects of a special educational needs (SEN) student are massively improved when they get a helping hand into the world of work. As well as boosting their confidence, work experience gives our young people a chance to show what a positive contribution they can make to an employer and your customers.

Our students have a brilliant track record with local employers in a range of areas. All placements are fully supported by a specially-trained work coach meaning there’s no additional support needed from your business. Our students have challenges but they are hard-working, enthusiastic and eager to support and learn from you and your team.

Our students have made a huge difference to so many businesses and we’d love chat with you to discuss what they can offer across many sectors. We also have a glowing recommendations from top employers in the area.

As you can see, we’ve found work experience placements for our students in a huge variety of places – and we’re always finding more! We can help YOU find what you want to do, support you in the placement, help you with transport there and back, answer your questions and deal with any worries you might have (Everyone has them!).

You can talk to your Course Co-ordinator about work experience placements, and you can also come and talk to us about the kind of work experience or job you think you’d like to do.

You may want to try different kinds of jobs – that’s fine, it’s a good way to find out what you really want to do. We can arrange a ‘taster day’ with employers. That way, if you try it for a day and decide it’s not right for you, it’s ok, you don’t have to go back.
