If you are looking to nurture the talent of tomorrow, why not provide a work experience placement for a 16-18 year old? We have enthusiastic young people from Greater Manchester and St Helens looking to take their first steps into the workforce, and you can help support their career journey.
Placements are designed for young people aged 16-18 who want to gain practical work experience with the support of a business.
They are available for young people across a variety of industries and follow a structured programme which aims to ultimately improve their future employment prospects.
Placements can vary in length and can last for a few weeks to several months. They may be part-time of full-time, depending on the arrangements.
Students will receive guidance from mentors at the Growth Company, helping them to understand the work environment, develop their skills and knowledge, and provide constructive feedback.
Students will develop a range of skills including communication, teamwork, problem solving and time management to help support their future employment and/or education opportunities.
As part of the arrangement learners receive a bursary, to support with costs like travel.
