For Schools
We can help your students gain Work Experience.
Work experience is an invaluable opportunity for students to access the world of work, where they can learn more about the roles and identify their own skills. Work experience is a great way to help reduce the chances of young people becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). It gives students the opportunity to develop their skills, build confidence, and industry experience. For many, it’s also a chance to shine – often leading to job offers, apprenticeships, or further training opportunities.
We offer a complete service to help students gain valuable practical work experience. Our streamlined online system takes care of the administration, making the whole process simple and efficient. Students can access opportunities through an online portal or our easy-to-use app, where they can also create a CV, receive appraisals from employers, give their own feedback, and download certificates on completion. All risk management is handled by Positive Futures and is included in the cost of each placement.
In addition to work placements, we also offer Sector visits to give young people a real insight into industries they’re interested in. These visits allow students to explore different career paths, meet professionals, and understand the skills and qualifications needed to succeed in their chosen field.
