Great Yarmouth Chamber Council members recently met with East Norfolk Sixth Form College to discuss employer engagement with their Work Placement Programme. Kasia Beblot, the Work Place Co-ordinator at the college advised that 130 students had currently registered for the Work Placement programme, however there were very few actual work placements available, due to lack of employer participation.
Kasia is very keen to hear from any employer in the Great Yarmouth area that could offer students a work placement of between 6 weeks to 8 weeks for one morning or afternoon per week. In addition, they are also looking for Great Yarmouth business community interaction to conduct mock interviews and help students make the most of their CVs.
John Morse, President of Great Yarmouth Chamber Council, said “It is really important for Great Yarmouth employers to get involved in any way they can. We need to invest time in the young people of today, as they are the workforce for tomorrow.”
