The Business Hub Work Experience™ comes to Melton Mowbray!
Added by Love Business East Midlands | 21 January 2025
Last July, with the support of Harborough District Council, The Business Hub Work Experience™ delivered a unique work experience programme to support 12 students from Welland Park Academy in Market Harborough by tapping into the incredible local, micro-business community.
This coming July, with the generous support of Melton Building Society, The Business Hub Work Experience™ will be offering 12 students from Melton Vale Sixth Form a chance to develop their communication skills during their work experience week in June 2025.
In their stunning community space, those 12 students will learn from local business people, including from Melton Building Society, about a variety of career paths and the fundamentals of communication in a modern workplace.
Gone are the days of making coffee and photocopying; our students will be set research tasks and be expected to report back their findings in a presentation format.
They will run their own event, from planning through to delegating and delivery and have the opportunity to experience real life networking - a task that can seem daunting to many young people. Practice helps us overcome our fears of the unknown, and that’s what we will be offering these students.
Chief Customer Officer at Melton Building Society, Rachel Kolebuk told us,
“As a mutual building society, it has been part of our fabric for 150 years to support the communities in which we serve not only financially but voluntarily with our time, experience, and knowledge.
Our roots and heritage are firmly in the Melton Mowbray area, and we are delighted to extend our support to young adults from Melton Vale Sixth Form and playing a small part in developing these incredibly valuable skills for their future career paths.“
Natasha Roberts, Assistant Head of College at Melton Vale Sixth Form said of the initiative
“A really exciting opportunity for A-Level students at Melton Vale Sixth Form to gain first hand experience of the world of work.
I’m really grateful for the support of The Business Hub Work Experience™ and especially to Melton Building Society for funding this initiative, for allowing us to be part of this project”.
Nicola Moss, Founder of The Business Hub Work Experience™ told us,
“We’re excited to develop this initiative further, with the intention being to create more solid connections between local businesses and our local schools to support and develop local talent, benefiting the whole community.”
This initiative will take place Monday 16th June - Wednesday 18th June 2025 inclusive.
