We believe in learning that goes beyond the classroom. Work experience is a powerful way to prepare students for their future careers while helping businesses shape the next generation of skilled employees.
By offering work experience placements, you’re not just giving students a glimpse into your industry—you’re actively developing their confidence, skills, and workplace readiness.
At the same time, you benefit from fresh perspectives, potential future talent, and the opportunity to raise awareness of your sector.
“These students are not only learning how to use state-of-the-art equipment, but actively contributing to the success of our internal broadcasts – all whilst improving their confidence and crucially learning to communicate with adults and adjust to the world of work. ”
Mike Ashton, Colleague Experience Partner Travel Counsellors, Manchester
