You may think your work is not interesting enough, or you are only a small company, but most of our placements are in small local businesses. Just the experience of being in an adult workplace and learning to work with others is a valuable learning opportunity for a student.

In an office for instance, you might begin by offering the student simple tasks like using office equipment such as a fax or photocopier. They could attend meetings to observe what takes place, or interview members of staff to find out more about the business and how the different departments work together.

In a shop they might work in the stockroom, or as a sales assistant, displaying goods, helping customers, watch a training video or read a training manual. The idea is for them to get experience of work and also an understanding of how a business runs.

If you would like guidance about what tasks a student could do in your business please have a look here.

If you would like to offer a work placement or need more information please contact us.

We will then get in touch with you to arrange a convenient time for a member of our team to visit you to set up the placement.
