Work Experience

“Working with great people makes you great; you learn a lot, and it also gives you the experience and confidence to move on with your own career.” Nas

Sixth Form students at Archbishop Beck Catholic College are continuing to take advantage of a wide range of work experience opportunities.

Liverpool Women’s Work Experience

We have had a number students complete a week’s work experience working at the Women’s Hospital in the city.

The students worked in several areas including Maternity, Neo-Natal and Gynaecology.  The students had an amazing experience all students gained a first-hand insight into the specialist services that the Women’s Hospital provides for local people.  All students involved plan to build a career working in the NHS moving forward.

Hill Dickinson’s Law Taster Day

A group of 22 students recently attended a Law Taster Experience at Hill Dickinson’s in the city centre.  Hill Dickinson’s is a major international law firm with offices in Europe and Asia.  Students had the chance to meet key staff and to find out about the different areas of commercial law that the business covers.

Students also discovered the various routes into the profession and had a fantastic networking opportunity to make contacts and ask important questions.  A brilliant day was enjoyed by all.  Archbishop Beck Catholic College is extremely grateful for the opportunity.

Liverpool Women’s Taster Experience

The Liverpool Women’s Hospital is a close partner of the college.  Anne Bridson, Learning and Development Facilitator at the Trust, has kindly offered opportunities like the taster experience to the students at Archbishop Beck for many years now. Working with Anne and the Women’s Hospital is a highlight of our work inspiration programme.

Students had practical experiences with hospital professionals in areas such as Bio-Medical Sciences, Pharmacy, HR, Physiotherapy, Anti-Natal, Neo-Natal and Infection Control. We are very fortunate to have access to such a variety of opportunities in Health and Social Care and Medicine. The fifty students that attended had a truly unique and rewarding experience.

Mando Digital Media Taster Day

Mando are a web design and digital solution agency with clients across the UK.  Students had the opportunity to spend a day in their state-of-the-art offices and hear from leading figures on their roles and responsibilities.  Students had the chance to undertake some digital coding and try web design programmes.  It was a truly unique experience and a memorable day.
