We have had a wonderful last few weeks highlighting and celebrating our work experience students and some of our fantastic #supportive employers. 🎉🎉🎉 Today we want to thank Mime Consultancy for providing students with an insight into how data and technology can help organisations make better decisions. Mime specialise in communicating complex information with clarity with both #public & #charity sectors. #Youngpeople from our #wandsworth #virtualschool and through our #ukspf project #jumpstarttosuccess have benefitted hugely from the #workexperience opportunities offered.

Great to see some of our Lifelong Learning colleagues at the Ripe Learning UK Employment & Skills Fair held at their new site.

Leading by example.  How can we expect employers in our community to offer high quality #workexperience without doing this ourselves. Our thanks go to Mark Glaister and Liam Rickatson in #WandsworthCouncil’s Procurement Team – pictured here with Councillor Sheila Boswell.  Providing #students with a unique insight into how the council commissions high-quality, cost-effective services for residents. Students were amazed to find out about the range of services commissioned and how essential this is for the smooth running of the #borough.   #careers #procurement #lifelonglearning #supplychain #management Wandsworth Council Lifelong Learning Wandsworth Chamber of Commerce Work Match Central London Forward South London Partnership
