The opportunity to undertake quality work experience placements not only introduces young people to the world of work, but is a key part in helping them decide their future career. In 2017, we supported 170 days of work experience placements for 28 young people in the East of England. One of these students is Jack Chaplin, from Stowupland High School, Suffolk. He believes his three-week placement changed his mind about the course he was going to study at college, and he has since started his Level 3 in the Built Environment qualification at West Suffolk College, while also continuing one day a week work experience with Morgan Sindall to complement the theory he is learning. From an employer’s perspective, welcoming work experience students helps to widen the talent pool of entry level applicants, while giving young people the opportunity to demonstrate their ability and grow in confidence.
