Helping you to achieve your potential...
If you are a student in Basingstoke, the chances are that you will attend an event or take part in a work experience placement organised by us at some point in your education.
Our role is to help you find out more about the world of work, making decisions about your future study and career easier.
Perhaps you might represent your school in the annual Business Challenge, visit a local company like Visa Europe or Wates Construction, or take part in a careers fair with a difference.
Each year over 1,600 Year 10 students also take part in Basingstoke Consortium’s work experience programme, a chance to experience first-hand what it is like to travel to work, meet new colleagues and learn new skills.
If you have any questions about what we do, please contact us.
Here’s what some young people have said about things we do...
