Work Experience is a mandatory requirement from Ofsted and we call upon you, the most important stakeholders of the community to offer our young people, your future work candidate, the opportunity to access work placement and apprenticeships.
We would like to offer you an opportunity to create a more diverse and skilled work force for the future of your company, the economy and our society. With particular emphasis from local, national and international governance that, young people need to have a mix of academic and vocational learning as this empowers them to be equipped with a range of skills and be innovative thinkers for their pathway progression.
In return for your investment this plays dividends in the following ways
