Students at Fairfield Farm College have been enjoying getting back to a variety of different work experience roles across Wiltshire after the summer break.
Wide range of work experience roles
Fairfield Farm College, a specialist college in Dilton Marsh, works with a wide range of local and national businesses to place students in work experience roles.
The Canal & River Trust has been a big advocate of the scheme over the past few years, and a new set of students joined at the start of September. Four out of five students were on their first external work experience placement, and all of them have been enjoying the challenge.
More work experience students started working with Wainwright Quarry and Somerset Earth Science Centre. Fairfield Farm College have a long-standing partnership with Wainwright Quarry, and over the years many students have had the opportunity to take part in supported work experience placements. Our latest group had a great time and enjoyed being able to see the vehicles working at the quarry.
Hands-on experience
“It’s great to see students working hard in their placements, and after the turbulence of COVID-19, it’s great to be working with our partners again,” said Darren Barber, Careers Manager at Fairfield Farm College.
“We’ve got some exciting new partners that students will be able to gain experience with over the coming months, and we’re looking forward to seeing students enjoying ‘hands on’ experience,” he continued.
