How has it worked before?
Face-to-face:
|
|
We run the course on sight so that students can experience the office and the culture in your company |
 |
There are meetings between staff and students and the TY's can get to know one another aswell |
|
The course is contained to one room which maintains a sense of cohesion and avoids security issues |
|
The rest of the course is run the exact same as the online course, with the programme tailored to the company we are working with. Students learn the same material as they would online, but the on sight option gives them a better idea of the companies culture and values. |
Online
|
|
Students log into the zoom and become familiar with the structure of the course |
|
They get to know each other through the group work that they complete |
|
They engage with learning through both individual and group tasks |
|
The team is there to help with any technical difficulties the students may face, and to answer any other questions they have |
A meaningful, enriching Transition Year work experience
that truly benefits both the students and your company
***Finally, a TY work experience that is truly worthwhile for the students and doesn't disrupt company operations""".
What do you do when a class of 30 students descends on your company for work experience?
How do you make the best impression on future graduates?
It's important to get the word out about your company in the most positive way, so that bright graduates think of you when they start looking for jobs. You don't want a dozen teenagers going back to their friends saying they were bored out of their minds at your TY work experience.
How do you balance busy staff schedules and making time to show them around?
Someone will have to tell them about what the company does, how it onboards young graduates, and what careers they could have here... But that's time taken away from day-to-day activities.
How do you channel their interest and energy in a way that is productive, instead of disruptive?
How do you shepherd dozens of excited teenagers through company premises with a semblance of order?
#SavvyTeenAcademy offers a complete package of company-branded, fully customisable trainings
to make the TY work experience highly memorable and mutually beneficial.
With the #SavvyTeenAcademy TY work experience, your company will:
1. Engage meaningfully with a future talent pipeline
There will be enough time for students to get a real feel for what the company does, and why it would be great to work there.

When applicable, this TY work experience package can be tailored for the teenagers of your clients, as an incredibly powerful and valuable thank-you.
