Colleagues on the Participation and Transition Strategy Team deliver a well established and highly successful work placement service, Work Experience Norfolk (trading style WEX Norfolk). The service provides free advice and support for school/college staff responsible for block and extended Work Related Learning/Work Experience/Work Shadowing placements. We also offer health and safety assessment checks of employers, a brokered placement service for SEND students and post 16 students on study programmes via a traded service.
