Our summer Work Experience placement scheme welcomes Herbie
One of our first placements this summer is Herbie, currently finishing year 10, who had a taste of all departments within Acres on his week’s placement.
During the summer months we often take on work experience placements from local schools and colleges, one of our first this year is Herbie Harmer, currently finishing year 10, who had a taste of all departments within Acres on his week’s placement.
Starting in the Design Office with Warwick, then moving on through the other departments including Laser cutting, welding, powder coating and inspection.
Mike Allen, Head of Mathematics at Derby Grammar School visited us on the final day of his placement, we asked him about the importance of work experience placements for students:
“Work experience is an invaluable tool for student’s development, in many cases it will be their first taste of real working environments, timekeeping and management of workloads, seeing how this differs from the rigid timetable of an educational environment.
The placements offer a look at all departments within businesses, giving students the chance to find out where their interest may lie, whether that be design, management, or hands-on on the shop floor, giving them confidence to take forward through their further education and shape their future career directions.”
Herbie will take a 2nd work experience placement in year 12, What industry direction will he choose?…
We believe strongly in helping and encouraging the next generation of designers, engineers, production staff and not to forget essential office roles such as finance, HR, Sales, Estimating etc.
