Work Experience Testimonials
 "Work experience gives us access to keen young people - some of our students have been so impressive we have taken them an as employees. Staff benefit from, and enjoy, helping students develop their knowledge and skills, giving them a better perspective on the motor industry. Work experience also strengthens our relationship with local schools. We are giving young people a taste of work - simple things like time keeping and taking instructions - and improving skills levels has got to be good for Kent as a whole."

 "Offering work experience placements has always been very positive for us. Although it can be hard work for an employer it is also extremely rewarding; the students deserve a change to develop their skills and demonstrate their potentials. The young man who was here recently was excellent; he was very good at the job and exceedingly helpful and conscientious."

 "Having students on work experience placements provides us with the ideal opportunity to promote the engineering industry to young people. They go away from here excited about what they have achieved and spread the word about how enjoyable the job can be. The quality of candidates is generally very high and we have even taken on several employees after having them here for work experience - it's a great way to recruit."

 "As an educational charity, we feel that taking part in work experience programmes is an important part of our contribution to the community; it helps us meet our educational objectives. Students have to work hard here but it is a great opportunity for them to experience a variety of industries from leisure and tourism to catering and engineering. The experience also provides us with the chance to recruit future volunteers for our workforce."

 "An extra pair of hands in the workplace is always useful. Work experience is great practical training for students and they always come in with fresh ideas. It is difficult to keep coming up with creative activities for the children so having new blood around is wonderful. The students are extremely helpful and we treat them as members of staff, which gives them a confidence boost."
|
 "It is very important to us to offer work experience as students are our future customer assistants. During their placement, we fully support them to ensure that their skills, confidence and enthusiasm develop. We have many employees who originally came to us on work experience, which demonstrates the quality of the students."
