Empower the Next Generation: Host a Work Experience Placement

This May, June or July, the Diversity and Inclusion team is looking for staff and teams to host local pupils in year 10, 11 and 12 for work experience placements at the university.

Work experience placements

The placements will last one week and are an opportunity for staff to engage with our community by hosting local school students through the Diversity and Inclusion work experience programme. This initiative aims to educate and inform young people about diverse career paths, providing them with hands-on experience. 

Benefits of Participation:

• Skill Development: Students will enhance their teamwork, time management, research, communication, and critical thinking abilities.
• Community Engagement: This is a chance for us to connect with young people, share our expertise, and inspire the next generation of professionals.
• Empower and Inspire the Future: Play a pivotal role in shaping the career aspirations of young individuals by exposing them to various professional fields.
• Showcase Your Department: Highlight the impactful work your team undertakes and its significance within the university and the broader community.

Next Steps:

We encourage all interested staff members to participate in this enriching experience. Your involvement will not only benefit the students but also contribute to our organisation's community outreach efforts.

If your team is interested in offering a work experience placement, please complete and submit the Expression of Interest Form. For further information or inquiries, contact the Work Experience Team at workexperience@ljmu.ac.uk.
