We would like to take this opportunity to once again thank you for your support with Work Experience/Industry Placements/Traineeships for our learners at Yeovil College. We are fortunate to have strong partnerships with local employers and we see this as strengthening through this process.
Work placements will provide learners with the opportunity to develop specific technical and practical skills, knowledge and behaviours required for skilled employment in their field of study.
Not only are you sharing your knowledge and skills with our learners we hope that this will positively impact your company.
5 reasons why you should offer work experience…

• to develop staff - it’s a chance for all staff to build management skills
• to gain fresh insights - see your organisation through someone else's eyes
• to increase staff engagement - colleagues get a genuine buzz from inspiring people
