The West of England Careers Hub is currently seeking employers to offer traditional five-day work experience placements for Year 10 students during June and early July 2026. This is a fantastic opportunity for members, and their organisations, to support young people in gaining valuable insight into the world of work, while also developing future talent pipelines and strengthening links with the local community.

In addition, there is a growing need for daytime workplace visits for small groups of SEND students and those in alternative learning provision. These visits can have a significant impact, helping to build confidence, raise aspirations, and provide meaningful exposure to different career paths.

If you or your employer are able to support in any capacity, please contact Adam Shea, Chair of Education and Skills for further information.
