Work Experience Placements - Managed Service
We know that some young people struggle to find meaningful placements, and need extra support in preparing for the experience. We have over 100 Marine Ambassadors and over 300 local businesses as part of Cornwall Marine Network, as well as tutors who specialise in working with those who may struggle to make the most of available opportunities. Because our network is expansive, we can help in many sectors outside of Marine too.
Basic SUPPORT SERVICE Content:
This managed service will cover:
- Preparation sessions to young people ready to make the most of the opportunity, and to get to know what type of placement will best meet their needs. This will cover Health and Safety awareness too.
- A 1:1 mentor who will support with removing barriers and helping to match them to an appropriate employer.
- Set up a placement and support with arrangements, as well as helping the employer to understand the objectives of the placement.
- Health and Safety risk assessment of the employer.
- A point of contact for the employer, student, guardian and school during the placement, as well as touching base with the young person during the placement to check things are on track.
- A post-placement session to consolidate what they've learnt from the experience.
