Can HCS deliver work experience placements?
Yes. We acknowledge that we have had problems with delivery due to a variety of external factors, which have had an impact at national level, not just in Hertfordshire. The influence of these factors has led to a backlog of work, which we are finding difficult to catch up with this term. We have now restructured the Work Experience Services team within HCS to focus more on the needs of the schools and young people. Resources have been increased with the integration of Herts Education Business Partnership with the Careers Service. The Curriculum Development team has also been restructured to support schools and the Work Experience Services team and ensure that work experience is seen as an important work-related learning activity and part of the CEG programme.
