Description of Activity

During their year 10 or sometimes year 11, all of the borough’s students are given the opportunity to go on a two week Work Experience Placement. NEBP Trident will provide each and every one of this enormous amount of students with a suitable place to gain their work experience.
To make sure everything starts off right, NEBP Trident provides the necessary health and safety checks and gives help and instructions to the employers. To make sure the students are well prepared and know what to do while on their placement they are provided with a “Work Experience Diary”, which is used as a reference, guide and evaluation booklet.
NEBP Trident’s staff currently successfully matches students with suitable placements. But to modernise the Work Experience Placements, we are working towards a system where students have access to a database of employers, so they can find, and apply for, a suitable Work Experience Placement themselves.

What we Need

NEBP Trident is always looking to expand their database of companies that are willing to provide Work Experience Places. We are looking for businesses and organisations in all kind of fields. Are you a business or organisation that can offer such a place or you know of such a business or organisation, please do contact us.
