Learn about our WEX placements!
Work experience has been identified by employers as advantageous to being work ready and therefore helpful in finding employment. It also assists with identifying employment pathways for the future, is useful to put on your CV and you may even get a reference from the experience.
Our work experience programme - WEX, is aimed at 15-24 year olds. Having launched in July 2019, initially as a school holiday programme, the demand from both businesses and youth has led us to extend the programme and we are now offering placements on an ongoing basis - meaning there are always placements available and always students willing to complete them.
