Work Experience

The team are busy working with employers throughout the year to find work experience opportunities for our 16-18 students across our different campuses. Each student will complete 35 hours of practical work experience with an employer as a mandatory part of completing their course. These hours may be undertaken by students during the breaks in the academic year, or they may have regular hours scheduled into their week. Our work experience team pride themself on accommodating businesses to create successful partnerships therefore, work experience hours can be flexible to support employer needs.

Once work experience is arranged, the team will confirm student attendance and liaise with the employer regularly for feedback. Contact may be made in person, by email, or telephone. Employers are encouraged to reach out with any questions they may have at all stages of the process.

Recent work experience has taken place with many companies within the local area including the Army, Cleveland Fire Brigade, Northumbrian Water and Aircon. Students across the group have also led on projects within college. Through these partnerships students get an insight into the practical day-to-day demands of the workplace and this insight compliments knowledge gained throughout their studies.
