Placement Hosts

Train and teach a young person about your business

Focus Training introduces students to 'real' working environments through arranging work experience placements.

Often placement hosts see work placements as an opportunity to pass on their knowledge and skills and to give something back to the community.

Whether your company is large or small, a placement can provide a valuable learning opportunity for a student.

Our highest priority is to match up the right placement host with the right student, so that it is a mutually rewarding experience.

All placements start with an interview to give the placement host and student the opportunity to meet and discuss expectations.

The placement host is fully supported throughout the placement process.  We manage all the paperwork including the health and safety forms. You will have a Placement Manager, whom you can contact at any time for advice or support.

Whilst undertaking work experience, the student gets the opportunity to work with you for one or two days a week over an agreed number of weeks whilst continuing their studies.

Work experience placements can benefit your business in a number of ways:

  • Your company becomes known by teachers, students and parents.
  • Students can provide your company and employees with a new perspective of their work.
  • It can present staff development opportunities for those supervising the student.
  • Young people are better prepared for the local job market.
  • It can provide recruitment opportunities for your company.
