WORK EXPERIENCE PROGRAMME
Saltash.net Community School – Pilot Scheme

In July 2006 we were invited by Saltash.net Community School to pilot a new scheme to provide Work Experience for students who had been unable to gain placements in the workplace

A classroom in the school was turned into Loopy Looks office and around 20 students were given the task of organising a ‘trade fair’ promoting Loopy Looks Costumes 6 main services to invited guests at the end of the week

The project proved extremely successful and we have been invited to repeat the exercise for Work Experience week in July 2007. If you would like to learn more about this project please contact us (Marilyn)
