Newham Education Business Partnership - Mentoring

Aims & Objectives

The aim of this programme is to provide pupils with hands-on experience over a longer period of time to prepare the student for the world of work by giving them the skills and qualities needed.

Description of Activity

The extended Work Experience Placement is part of a larger programme that aims to keep engaging students in education.  For two days a week a student will follow and alternative curriculum outside of school. For one day a week this will be an Extended Work Experience Placement provided by the NEBP.
The NEBP will try to find a suitable Work Placement for the student that will accommodate his wishes for the future and the student will be properly prepared for his placement. Our Engagement Co-ordinator will make sure that the student will take his Extended Work Experience Placement seriously, as it will be her job to monitor the students and keep in touch with businesses. This way the NEBP will make sure all needs of the students and businesses are met and the experience will be rewarding for both parties.

What we Need

To provide placement for more than 100 students we are always in need for businesses that are prepared to take on a student on an Extended Work Experience Placement for 1 day a week for one school year or even two school years. We are looking for businesses in all kind of sectors and industries. If your business is willing to help us out please contact our Engagement Co-ordinator Laura Yearsley.
