Next steps...............................................
Best thing to start with is writing an email so we could send it to the local related organisations. Once you have completed and I have read, you will be able to send. Please use the guide to complete this and send me an email. https://sites.google.com/blackpoolsixth.ac.uk/futures/cv-cover-letter-guidance
Employers are keen to support students and are more eager to help if you contact them directly. So I always ask students to make initial contact so that I can then follow it up to complete paperwork with them.
Once you have got a provisional agreement or if you are still struggling, please email sian.roberts@blackpoolsixth.ac.uk so that she can set up your work placement (current students only). Information about the Work Placement Co-ordinator will be sent to you once this has been sent.
