Over the course of this week year 10 Prince's Trust learners have been sampling the world of work. Miss Garcia and Mrs Parker have been visiting them and communicating with their employers throughout the week to see how they have been getting on. On Tuesday, Mrs Parker visited Leah and Lily at Woof and Ready in Glossop, whilst there she observed the girls giving the dogs a wash and blow, both learners love of animals was clear by the care and consideration that they demonstrated whilst doing this task.

Some of our learners have ventured further a field, to Perth in Scotland, London and Nottingham. Jack has been sampling the morning commute in London over the course of two weeks, so far he has seen how engineers operate on the railways and tomorrow he will be attending progress meetings at Heathrow Airport. Rowan has been sampling the role of a Blacksmith, he has had the opportunity to complete some traditional forging using fire and has also developed welding skills. Both Jack and Rowan have demonstrated a keen interest in pursuing these careers in the future, their employers have reported that the learners dialogue has been centred around developing a progression plan in to these career choices.

Miss Garcia visited Cam at Porsche in Wilmslow, whilst there Cam was assisting mechanics in vehicle checks and car maintenance. Miss Garcia also got the opportunity to visit Kyle who has been given a project by Smurfit Kappa to produce a safety video for the company over the course of his week with them. Unfortunately Miss Garcia had to tell the manager at Thomas Cook in Nottingham that she could not keep Lewis as he has to come back to us to complete year 11.

Well done to all our learners in all their different roles this week, we look forward to hearing more about your experiences at the start of the new school year.
