Supporting students virtually in Croydon

“We wanted to make sure our students didn’t miss out on work-based learning opportunities because of the pandemic. So, we partnered with Changing Education, the UK’s largest Education Business Partner, to deliver virtual work experience opportunities for our students.” Croydon College.

Our team rose to the challenge and ran two bespoke virtual work experience weeks for pupils! We were overwhelmed by student engagement rates and one of the key ingredients was the series of live employer interactions. We featured the likes of SportCheer England, Barclays, BBC and??Wilson Browne Solicitors to name a few.

We also included a LinkedIn masterclass for pupils and started the #InspireFutureLeaders movement to showcase live engagement rates from all parties.

Our team has been recognised in the latest Croydon Education Matters newsletter.??You can read the latest newsletter by clicking below:

If you would like to find out more about our Virtual Work Experience programme and opportunities for your students, be sure to book your place on our webinar hosted by Matthew Hodgkinson and Roman Dibden.

Investing in Future Leaders

In the past 12 months, The Changing Education Group has invested more than ??250,000 on upgrading both the ConnectEd Student App and the Connect Software Platform. All virtual activity is clearly managed and tracked.

Okay, that???s great…
but what does this mean for students?

Pupils will receive access to a range of leading opportunities and supporting employability resources all year round. All resources are available via their very own student App and clearly evidenced via the Connect Software platform. Allowing students to keep a clear digital record of achievement, whilst supporting the transition to the next step.

Hitting 6 of the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks

Of course, nothing can replicate the experience of a physical placement. However, our employer-led virtual programmes allow your school to clearly evidence six of the eight Gatsby Benchmarks with a simple Sync to the Compass+ platform.

A stable careers
programme

Learning from career and labour
market information

employees

Experiences of workplaces

Students can now hear from
more employers than ever

We have launched an initiative called #SectorSpotlightSessions where we are releasing employer videos across a diverse range of sectors every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Students hear directly from employers across multiple sectors, helping inform the career decisions of future leaders everywhere. This teamed with our wider pre-placement content allows a rich, immersive and interactive access all areas experience.
