We're offering WEX placements for students in full-time learning in Brighton & Hove.
We promote new placements to all Brighton & Hove schools, post-16 training providers, and HE institutions. The school, training provider or institution then sends the application link to their students.
As with a job vacancy, students who apply by the deadline will receive a message to say whether or not they will be invited to meet the manager. This gives students a chance to practice completing an online application safely, which is an important employability skill.
We've partnered with Springpod to offer online virtual work experience. The programmes are for residents aged 14 and over. You can gain practical knowledge, skills, and insights to start your career.
Programmes are available on demand, and open until December 2024. There are limited licenses so each course is first come, first served.
BHCC Virtual Work Experience programme LA Work Experience is now available to prospective students on the University College Admissions Service website.
Participants of both programmes are awarded a digital badge.
