Work experience
Work experience and careers preparation is a huge part of our focus, not just in Post 16, but across all of Fox Hollies School. We are part of a national and local Careers Hub that ensures our provision always encompasses giving students the skills they need for life beyond Fox Hollies.
In pathway 2, students are introduced to work experience through learning about jobs around school and going on to take responsibility for them over a longer period of time. This helps build students self esteem and teaches them fundamental work skills that they will require in their adult life, in both any employment or domestically.
Choices College NHS works with Pathway 3 Post 16 to support students prepare for their future careers. Their service offers in school workshops where the world of work is explored through activities tailored for our students. Choices College also provides face to face work experience placements to students that have identified an area of work they would like to pursue. In addition to work experience, where suitable, a student may wish to follow a supported internship when they leave Fox Hollies, which Choices College is able to facilitate.
