We’re keen to support you every step of the way, as well as offering additional opportunities for you to work towards future qualifications.

Regardless of where you are with your studies or career choices, we offer a wide range of exciting options for you to gain experience in the workplace.

We can help you identify opportunities in areas such as building maintenance, architecture, catering, construction, residential care, finance, HR, asset management, highways, mechanical and electrical engineering, project management, surveying and transport.
