Local Businesses we need your expertise!

We work with several employees from different sectors from Self-employed, SME’s and large multinational companies.

If you would like to support our school and our students in developing their knowledge of employment and skills, we would encourage you to contact us.
Some examples of support include:
Providing inspirational careers talks from apprentices and new starters up to senior management level and CEO’s
Running workshops e.g., employability skills, interview techniques.
Offering work experience/work shadowing opportunities
Running business enterprise challenges or competitions.

Or do you have an interest in starting up a supported internship?

In January 2025 we had several employers who came in to the school to conduct mock interviews with Year 11 and Post 16.

We had employers from different companies such as National Grid, Warwickshire Police, Office for Environmental Protection, DWP, to name but a few.

The students were nervous but did a wonderful job, meeting with the employers and answering interview questions. They were given the opportunity to have more than one interview and some of the students went on to have 4 or 5!

The interviewers gave great feedback. Charlotte from National Grid said, “I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the variety of businesses that attended for the students to practise their interview skills.”

Conrad from the DWP said “Great to meet such lovely students who were so keen to engage with employers.”

It was amazing also to hear the students asking the interviewers about their company and the job that they do.

How can we benefit you?
Employing people with disabilities conveys and promotes an inclusive work environment. This encourages empathy in the workplace (a trait that is important to have when working with customers and clients) and can improve the perception of the company from the consumer point of view.
