Working With Local Businesses

At Birchwood Community High School we continue to develop strong links with local employers. We work with them in our Careers programme in various ways.

Some employers come into school and talk to our students about their businesses. They discuss what the job is like, along with what skills and qualifications are desired.

Some employers help to carry out mock interviews with students and provide useful feedback.

Students complete a week of work experience in Year 10 and Year 12 and many local employers facilitate this by organising for them to work in their businesses for the week.

We are always really keen to hear from local employers and institutions and if you would like to speak to students or can offer taster session or experiences in relation to our careers programme, please get in touch with Jacqui Jenkinson or Aimee Ruddy.
