Host a Work Experience Placement

Are you interested in engaging with the wider industrial community on Teesside?

You can help us to raise aspirations and employment opportunities for young people in our region by providing the placements that we need to fill for our successful programmes.

What we’re looking for is businesses on Teesside to support us by providing work experience for our young people. This kind of support means a lot to the individuals that get involved with our programmes, and just one week can make a real difference.

Whether you already provide work experience placements or are completely new to it, we would love to hear from you. We will support you every step of the way.

If you’re interested in getting your business involved in High Tide, please contact our General Manager, Lauren Bywater, on 07834 176945 or email info@hightidefoundation.co.uk.

"“This has been so educational, not only for the students but also the teachers; I had no idea of what really went on down here. This is great knowledge that I can take back with me and share with the other colleagues and students.”"

""It was very informative and was definitely worth every minute. The speakers and staff were very kind and helped us all build a better understanding of the world of engineering. This was an insight I doubt I could have gotten anywhere else.""
