Snow Valley Shortlisted For Work Placement Award
Snow Valley is delighted to announce that our work placement scheme has been shortlisted for a national award.
The National Council for Work Experience (NCWE) has decided that our placement programme, which was only launched in 2008, is one of the very best in the UK and we've been nominated in the Best Work Experience Provider: New Placement Scheme category.
The NCWE Awards showcase the very best employers in the UK, highlighting best practice and giving organisations the chance to see how other companies are running successful work experience programmes. The shortlisted employers are recognised for their excellence in work experience provision and are commended for the time and effort they put into helping students develop key skills.
Snow Valley launched a work placement scheme last year, as we were confident that we had a great deal to offer students looking for employment experience. The students have the unique opportunity to work among the most talented, experienced professionals in the industry, while the company benefits from the fresh ideas, enthusiasm and passion for learning that the students bring to their respective teams and projects.
Laura Strasdin, Recruitment Manager at Snow Valley, said; "It's such a great achievement for Snow Valley to have been shortlisted for this award. The employment of students and graduates is often not regarded as highly as it should be - for some companies it's about taking on a cheap skivvy. From the start we decided that our scheme would be different, bringing benefits to the students and to the company.
"We put a lot of effort into making our scheme a success and this nomination is evidence that we’ve achieved that goal. The students who joined us in 2008 are proving to be valuable assets to our team and I can only hope that we can emulate that success with this year’s intake."
