Work Experience and Employment

We understand how important it is for young people to gain real-life experience of the world of work. Work experience, volunteering and employment opportunities can help build confidence, develop new skills and support young people to explore their interests and future career pathways. 

Whether it’s a short placement, a part-time job or support into apprenticeships, these experiences can make a big difference in helping young people feel prepared, motivated and positive about their next steps. We work with partners across the city to help young people access safe, supportive and inclusive opportunities, ensuring everyone has the chance to reach their potential and move towards successful employment.
