We can help your students gain Work Experience.
Work experience is an invaluable opportunity for students to access the world of work, where they can learn more about the roles and identify their own skills. Work experience is a great way to help reduce the chances of young people becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). It gives students the opportunity to develop their skills, build confidence, and industry experience. For many, it’s also a chance to shine – often leading to job offers, apprenticeships, or further training opportunities.
Work Experience
We offer a complete service to help students gain valuable practical work experience. Our streamlined online system takes care of the administration, making the whole process simple and efficient, where they can also create a CV, receive appraisals from employers, give their own feedback, and download certificates on completion. All risk management is handled by Positive Futures and is included in the cost of each placement.
