Internal placements at The Oaks Specialist College offer our learners an incredible opportunity to gain valuable experience of work-related tasks, develop essential employability skills, and immerse themselves in the world of business through fun, creativity, and practicality.

Our learners get to roll up their sleeves and dive into a variety of engaging activities. From growing fresh produce to cooking up culinary delights, and even crafting unique creations, our learners experience it all – not only gaining experience, but also contributing fully to our thriving enterprise projects. And here’s the best part: all the proceeds generated through these work placement enterprise projects are reinvested to further enhance the program for future growth.

Our learners document their progress and skill development in a comprehensive work-related learning booklet via OneNote. The booklet serves as a testament to their growth and provides them with an opportunity to reflect on their placement experience.

Overall, the programme is a chance for learners to gain valuable insights into an industry and explore the various job roles within it.
