Hi, I am an Industry Liaison Officer at Canterbury College. Part of my job role is to support the computing students to find valuable experiences of work within their chosen field, from industry insights, site visits to placements.When young people apply for their first jobs, they are often caught in a vicious cycle. They need experience to get a job, but they need a job to gain this experience. This paradox highlights the importance of work experience in helping young people start their careers.Work experience is an important introduction for young people into the working world, and can help them gain that highly sought-after experience. By helping young people to gain work experience, your business can reap real benefits, such as:1. Developing the supervisory and management skills of your current workforce2. Enhancing your public profile by supporting your local community3. Accessing a pool of hidden talent – people who offer enthusiasm and a fresh perspective to your business4. Promoting workforce diversityIf you are a business and interested in supporting young people who are looking for work experience in the Computing field, then please feel free to get in touch.
