Careers for the Future
At Fareham College we are focused on employability, ensuring our students develop the core skills and competencies required in the workplace. One of the best ways to help our learners prepare for the world of work is to ensure they have the opportunity to undertake meaningful work experience.
Work experience is a compulsory element of all our full time courses for students aged 16-19. An industry work placement is a core element of the new T Level qualifications as students are expected to complete between 45-and 60 days of work experience across the two-year programme.
The benefits of Work Experience
- Work experience students provide new energy, enthusiasm and perspective in the workplace supporting existing employees to take on temporary supervisory and mentoring roles
- Offering work experience is a way of getting additional resources for a period of time and doesn’t cost you financially
- Work experience has a positive impact on your branding, showing positive CSR and support for the future workforce
- Work experience is a fantastic recruitment strategy; an excellent work experience student could turn into a valuable future employee
- By providing young people with work experience and becoming involved with careers guidance, employers can spell out the value of the skills and knowledge developed at college, and open pupils’ eyes to a world of career opportunities.

Curriculum Design
A significant part of our commitment to employability is the development of close partnerships with employers from a range of industries to design and deliver a needs-led curriculum.
Both the educational learning environment and workplace requirements across a range of sectors are changing rapidly, and this has implications for individuals’ career paths as well the strategic aims of many businesses.
We believe that businesses have an important role to play in partnering with colleges to help raise ambition, and achievement, improving performance to equip students with the key traits needed for career success.
