Taking part in work experience or an industry placement will give you the edge in the job market and ensure you develop the skills, knowledge and experience that employers love! It also shows you are motivated and keen to develop yourself and will give you an exciting insight into a future career.
Our exciting project-based learning initiative is designed to bring the classroom and the world of work closer together.
