Let’s get down to business!
Work experience is an important part of the curriculum at Horizon campus. Learning in a work environment helps prepare students for future employment.
We are working in partnership with lots of employers. They help give our students the opportunity to learn and grow in a work setting. Work experience is a chance for them to develop the skills and knowledge they need for employment.
One of our partners, Fortuna Healthcare, have helped us set up a printing enterprise at their premises.
Students work with industry professionals from a company named 'My Elements'. They produce personalised products for sale.
