Trident for Employers

Why Work Experience?

Strengthening the links between education and business can have a positive effect on your workplace. Schools and colleges are working hard to prepare students for the world of work but they cannot do it alone.  By offering a student a work placement opportunity, you as an employer have the opportunity to:

  • Contribute to cultivating motivated and trained people who may approach you for employment in the future
  • Develop recruitment channels through links with schools and colleges giving you a rich source of new employees
  • Influence a student’s career choices
  • Raise the profile of your organisation in the local community
  • Reinforce your Corporate Social Responsibility.
