"Our student got a chance to learn about retail. My staff got a training opportunity."
Victoria Berry, Evans Ltd
As a central London business, why not give a young student their first extended taste of working life, even before they leave school! Work experience placements give students a chance to practice key skills in a real business environment, be part of a team and take on real challenges.
Most work experience placements run for two weeks. Students are briefed before their placements and keep a diary to show what they have learned.
"This is not two weeks off school. It's a highly valuable structured learning opportunity"
Pat Reeves, teacher
Offering a work experience placement is easy. Hundreds of companies are already involved - including architects, design studios, shops, restaurants, City businesses, IT companies and many more.
Your staff will gain from the experience too - maybe taking responsibility for the student and practising their own communication and management skills at the same time. Each year thousands of students and businesses take part in work experience across central London.
