MORE than 130 Year 10 students from Norton College finished the school year exploring a range of different work placement opportunities.

This year’s placements include working with engineers, joiners, vets, pharmacists, teachers, scientists, artists and and solicitors.

Kerry Megginson and Rachael Medley, the work experience co-ordinators, said: “We are always very grateful to employers who accept students as we understand the effort and time it takes to give the student a programme which is appropriate and meaningful.

“Every year feedback from employers and students is very positive. Norton College has outstanding local support from many employers who make a real investment in the young people in their community."

The college work experience team would welcome any new employers interested in having a student. Email rme@nortoncollege.net or phone 01653 693296.
