Work Experience

Our flagship work experience opportunity is the Young Citizens Work Experience Festival, which runs alongside the Innovation Festival in July each year.

This exciting programme brings together Year 10 students from schools across the North East, offering the chance to develop a wide range of skills, from practical hands-on experience to vital workplace skills such as communication, teamwork, creativity, and innovation. You'll meet new people, build your confidence, and experience the unique atmosphere of the festival.
