Do you think Work Experience provides significant and identifiable impact for your students?
Absolutely. For our young people, for many of them, it's the first time they've ever done anything independently, without their mum or dad who handle most things.
Then the young person realises they can do this and that's great, so maybe can go to college and get that job. For their confidence it is a big, massive step.
