Alleyne’s Academy in Stone has today launched a “Work Experience Hub” in order to engage with Stone, Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent businesses for work experience opportunities.
The group on Facebook states its intended mission:
“Hi and welcome to the Alleyne’s Academy Work Experience Hub.
It is my intention to create a group where employers in Stone, Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent can get in touch and let us know if they are able to accommodate any of our students and provide them with a valuable work experience placement.
Our students go out on work experience in Year 10 and Year 13. It really does give them a valuable insight in to their potential future job prospects.
This year we are hoping to operate slightly different, with T-Levels being pushed by the government in which to help industry address the skills gap, we are hoping to ensure that students go to a placement that they genuinely have an interest in working in. This will hopefully benefit all parties involved and create a pool of potential future employees.
If you are interested in offering a place and have not done so before please drop us a message and we will be happy to explain what will be involved and the checks that will need to be carried out.
If you have offered a place before and would be willing and able to do so again please let us know and we can add you to our list.”
Interested employers can find the group on Facebook at – https://www.facebook.com/groups/624059139094225 or by searching for “Alleyne’s Academy Work Experience Hub”
