Work Experience Placements

We support schools and colleges by helping students find work experience placements tailored to their needs. Our services include:

• Accessing health and safety assessments from our database of approved businesses
• Conducting full business visits and providing assessment copies to ensure placements are appropriate
• Arranging one or two-day placements on a longer-term basis (fees apply)

Each student will meet with us to discuss their placement options. We source relevant opportunities, complete on-site health and safety risk assessments, and set up interviews with the employer.

Costs

• Health & Safety Checks (online): £25
• Health & Safety Checks (on-site visit): £75
• Long-Term Placement Setup Fee: £250
• Long-Term Placement Termly Fee: £150

Please note, we are unable to assist with short-term placements for large groups of students. However, we can conduct health and safety visits on your behalf.
