Collas Crill hosts students in biggest ever Jersey Finance work experience scheme

Collas Crill is hosting two sixth form students as part of a work experience programme organised by Jersey Finance in partnership with Careers Jersey.

As part of Jersey Finance's biggest ever 'Life in Finance' programme, Collas Crill is helping provide a practical way for students to gain new business and personal skills, learn about the finance industry and gain an insight into the diverse careers opportunities available.

Carla Harris, communications manager at Jersey Finance, commented: "Not only are we able to offer placements to more students than ever before as part of the scheme this year, but we also had an overwhelming number of applications from students too. This clearly reflects the importance they place on work experience as a way to develop their employability skills, particularly in a persistently challenging job market. That more firms than ever before are supporting the scheme this year is fantastic too, as it simply wouldn't happen without their commitment and enthusiasm."

Mario Lundy, Careers Jersey, said: "This work experience programme offers a fantastic opportunity for work-based learning, which can really help students on a number of levels. As well as providing them with new experiences, it also gives them a unique opportunity to acquire an insight into the career choices that exist within the finance industry and a chance to demonstrate their employability skills to potential future employers - all of which are absolutely vital for young people in the current tough job market."
