Summer Kickstart Work Experience Programme

 The KickStart Programme is a structured transition from full time education into employment, apprenticeships and further or higher education within the field of hospitality, leisure and tourism. It provides a platform for students to gain real insight into the wealth of opportunities on offer, as well as quality work experience which massively boosts their CV and employability potential.

This voluntary three week programme over the summer months provides an excellent transition through:

• Pre-placement training including information, advice and guidance, work tasters and 3 recognised Level 2 certified short courses
• Two week placement which follows the Springboard’s work experience quality standard INSPIRE
• Mock interviews- directly with the businesses
• Mentoring support from the Springboard team throughout the programme

The programme aims to increase candidates confidence and equip them with the valuable skills needed to succeed in the world of work. Through working with renowned companies throughout London and the South East, candidates are able to develop their skills and understanding of the hospitality industry. Springboard is supported through funding therefore there is no cost involved. Although the three weeks work experience is unpaid, travel and lunch expenses are paid.

Dates for the programme are –

• 27th June for 3 weeks
• 4th July for 3 weeks
• 25th July for 3 weeks
• 5th Sept for 3 weeks
