Work experience for care leavers
At Peterborough City Council, we are particularly keen to support individuals who may face additional barriers to gaining work experience or who are under-represented.
We welcome applications from Care Leavers and are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where all individuals can thrive.
We value the sharing of fresh ideas, innovation and creativity in our environment of growth and support.
Financial support is available for Care Leavers on our work experience programme to assist with costs for travel, lunches, clothes and provision of necessary equipment.
Our work experience programme is designed to:
- Help care-experienced individuals develop valuable skills and build confidence
- Offer tailored support for everyone to achieve their full potential
- Provide meaningful, hands-on learning opportunities
Visit our work experience section for more information on our programme.
