Year 12 students complete paid internships with Balfour Beatty Vinci & Turner and Townsend

Congratulations to ten Y12 students who have successfully completed the first year of their Career Ready programme. This programme has had over 20 years of experience working in boosting social mobility by connecting students to workplace opportunities and supporting with a structured programme of 12 one to one mentoring sessions, a paid internship programme, 6 masterclass workshops, workplace visits and sustained continued support for the students. Two of our students have started their internships last week linking to their chosen career path.

Madi is keen to pursue a career in property management and has successfully completed her first week at Balfour Beatty Vinci working with a few of the different departments, including the land interface team and the survey team.

Grace is interested in completing a law degree and has successfully completed her first week at Balfour Beatty Vinci working with the team that carry out legal analysis and evidence reviews to support legal compliance.

We have a further three students who begin their internships on Monday 15 July with Turner and Townsend who will have the opportunity to develop their professional skills and experience, as well as being able to experience what it’s like to work on some of the most exciting construction projects around the world. As part of the internship they will be placed in the Sustainability team and will have the opportunity to explore what environmental responsibility looks like.

We wish all the students on this Career Ready programme the best for their futures and we hope to hear about their successes in the future in these industries.
