Encounters with Employers for Students

Throughout your time at Hope Academy, you will be given the opportunity to have encounters with employers.

Please find below opportunities you can take advantage of to gain this valuable experience yourself too.

COVID 19 paved the way for a variety of alternative encounters with employer opportunities.

Here are a number of providers that are still offering online opportunities which you can fit easily around your studies. These sites not only offer work experience but also workshops to help improve your employability skills. Please also keep checking our Careers at Hope Newsletter as this also has so many opportunities and experiences for you to take up.
