100 students from across the East Midlands spent a week at the Boots support office in Nottingham getting inspired about work. 50 were from schools, colleges and universities here in Nottinghamshire.

Boots, the Nottingham-based health and beauty retailer put the students through their paces in an effort to bridge the gap between young people's expectations of work and what business expects from them.

 

We are currently inviting partners and stakeholders to particpate in the accreditation process by providing an evaluation of EBF services. Our Business Engagement team have been contacting local employers involved in work-related learning activities, such as work experience, to request feedback on the quality of service and supoprt they have received.

 

Thank you to all those who have already completed the survey. We value your input and would like to hear from more employers and work related learning co-ordinators to help inform our future decisions on services.
