Throughout the 2 weeks, students immersed themselves in professional environments, gaining firsthand experience that simply cannot be replicated in the classroom. Employers consistently reported how engaged, enthusiastic and capable our students were - feedback that made us incredibly proud.

Why Work Experience Matters

Work experience plays a vital role in preparing young people for their futures. It allows students to:

• Explore career interests and discover what paths excite them
• Build confidence by stepping outside familiar routines
• Develop essential skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving
• Understand workplace expectations, culture, and responsibility
• Make meaningful connections with professionals in industries they may pursue

These experiences help students make more informed decisions about their next steps, while strengthening their readiness for both further education and employment.

Our students embraced every opportunity, and their growth over the experience was truly inspiring!
