Supporting the Next Generation: Our First Experience With Work Experience
We recently welcomed our very first work experience student — a rewarding challenge that gave us fresh perspective and new energy. As a small business, taking on a placement came with its fair share of planning, paperwork, and learning curves, but the outcome was more than worth it. From hands-on tasks and real-world business insights to portfolio-worthy projects, we aimed to give our 14-year-old student a meaningful introduction to working life. If you’re a small business wondering if you can offer a valuable work experience placement, we say go for it — just be ready to fully commit. Read about our experience and key takeaways from supporting the future workforce.
