School21 Work Experience Project

School21 Work Experience Project

Overview

Newham-based School 21 strives to develop young people who are thoughtful problem solvers, creative innovators, and confident communicators. In this new take on traditional work experience, Year 10 students work with local businesses and the community to provide meaningful experiences that change lives. Over several weeks, every student spends half a day each week in the workplace, solving an authentic problem for a real organisation.

Previous project examples include a ‘how to’ computer guide for a local elderly home and a film on life in the community for a social housing organisation.
