At St Edmunds Society we know that every person is different. We know that mainstream education isn’t for everyone, and we pride ourselves on doing things a little differently. We support young people who may have felt challenged or out of place in a mainstream environment. At St Eds we offer a range of exciting vocational training courses such as Catering and Hospitality, Hair and Beauty, Carpentry, Tiling, Construction, Painting and Decorating and Mechanics.
As you can imagine work experience is very important to us here at St Eds, as it is another way for our young people to gain direct hands-on experience in the workplace. We are connected to many amazing businesses in the community that have seen lots of benefits from working with us such as:
- Recruitment strategy – getting ahead of competition by bringing enthusiastic young people with fresh ideas into the business.
- Helping business to develop a loyal and talented workforce.
- Shaping the skills of young people from the local community.
- Generating good PR for business, and brand loyalty.
- Giving established members of staff the chance to develop their skills in mentoring and coaching young people.
If you are able to offer work experience opportunities for any of our students, please contact Megan Howitt, Study Programme Officer.
