What our students say
Paige Baxter year 11, Broadgreen International School
“My placement at Premier Inn gave me a real taste of the hotel industry and my mind is now focused and I know what I want to
people explore the real-life working world as a step to becoming fulfilled in their dream careers, which for our hospitality partners will include future chefs, hotel managers or food service consultants,” says Kuveljic. “Hands-on team responsibilities and industry-specific projects are part of our unique structure to ensure that young people get the most out of their foray into employment. “While work experience
placements are an important part of our programme, we know that the overwhelmingly positive feedback we get from both young people and employers is the result of the integrated approach we take to preparing each individual for their dream role. “The unique skills and behaviour
mapping and assessments which are carried out annually to personalise each
journey to employment is what will help us make our vision a reality. We are working towards a future in which every young person in the UK benefits from an education which develops and connects them to the career that is right for them. This is a future without youth unemployment and with a stronger economy for all.” Lauren Sargent, cluster HR manager
at Jurys Inn, adds: “Work experience is a great way of getting young people to see the varied careers in hospitality – from reception to food and beverage, finance, sales, revenue and HR. “Thanks to the BiYP programme, the students who complete work experience are a lot more engaged. This is because they’ve gone through a suitability process and chosen to come to us, as opposed to being designated a placement. BiYP can connect us to future recruits and could be instrumental in building a talent pipeline into the business.”

do. I did something different every day and it was never boring. Work experience placements mean you can find out what you like and don’t like. They give you a real taste of an industry and get you used to a company.”
Eloise Goodwin year 10, Carshalton High School for Girls “Working at Costa really gave me an insight into what it takes to work in such a busy environment and I gained quite a lot of skills. All the team were really friendly and helpful, so it was a great experience.”
James Johnson sixth form, Plantsbrook School “I had such a positive experience at Toby Carvery that I want to work there after I finish my A-levels. My placement enabled me to find out what the working world is really like and I learned lots of new skills, including customer service, teamworking and problem-solving.”
“Of the BiYP work experience students, 62% were offered an apprenticeship or identified as future talent”
