don’t have any previous employment experience.

We aim to improve the motivation, achievements and contentment of our young people, ensuring that they maximise their potential, by working with local businesses and the wider community to enhance and improve their progression from education to work, thus contributing to the highly skilled workforce of the future.

"Session went well – included information to comply with new PAL. Tutors commented that students were engaged, session was informative and good CPD for them as well. Via TEAMS enabled students to ask questions via their tutors and to be more engaged than sat in a large assembly hall."
Virtual full year group talks for yrs 7&8 – Nov’22 (Hanley Castle)
"Several of my Form were a little nervous before hand, but every one of them have told me they enjoyed the interview and found it really useful, with the interviewers being approachable and informative (many of my lot said they 'got the job'!). Definitely a valuable experience for them. Yesterday *student* did his mock interview, and he came back a completely different confident student. He was sharing how he performed with the class and how they could do well in their own interviews. He totally came out of his shell. It was wonderful to observe."
Yr11 Mock Interviews – Dec’22 (Chase, Malvern)
"Kerry was very approachable and enthusiastically interacted with students throughout the event, providing advice and guidance about apprenticeship programmes to enable them to make informed choices about their post 16 options"
