In the past we have run a competitive work experience scheme in both London and prague. Previous students have experienced the world of work in places as diverse as the House of Commons, Chatham House, the Orange Tree Theatre, a GP’s surgery, and legal and investment firms in London, to blue chip companies such as Deloitte and local NGOs in Prague. All this puts our students in the best possible position to achieve a fulfilling career in the future. This scheme was put on hold during the Covid pandemic and we are hoping to resuscitate it during 2023.
The programme was halted by the Covid crisis but the ECF hopes to reinstate it as and when conditions, including new working practices, allow. Meanwhile they are helping with online careers information and advice where required. In addition, we have commenced our first series of Parental Work Experience Placements whereby parents of current ECP students offer work placements for current students. We are grateful for our parents’ support, and we fully expect this to further supplement our existing work experience programme in the years to come.
