The Sixth Form

Work Experience

InvestIN Education

We provide work experience summer schools for students aged 15–18, designed to give them a well-rounded insight into their chosen profession. Through our programmes, students meet professionals, visit workplaces and take part in simulations that give them hands-on experience of what it’s actually like to work in their dream career.

Our programmes come at a cost, however, we reserve a limited number of scholarship places for students who cannot finance their own place. The scholarship covers the full cost of our one-week programme, including TFL travel and lunch each day, for students who meet the eligibility criteria.

Do you have any students who might be interested? If so, please feel free to share our scholarship page with them which has all of the information needed to apply. 

The deadline to apply is 14th April
