Work Placement Case Study - Multi-Trades

NAME: Josh 

PLACEMENT: Pitts Woods

ROLE: Volunteer/Groundskeeper

LEAP Hub Multi-Trades is a practical-based programme that focuses on developing a range of transferable skills in our dedicated workshops that will help students to prepare for life after QAC, and progress on to the next steps of their chosen career pathway.

Josh has accessed various work placements which have provided him an insight into possible job opportunities following his time at QAC, this included work placements where he has worked with other students to paint a community centre and also make bird boxes which were donated to West Smethwick Park.

Josh visited Pitts Wood with other students to carry out a range of tasks, including removing holly to clear the pathways around the woodland. During the placement, Josh would be allocated a set of new tasks to complete to keep the area conserved each week.
