Employer Success Story
I initially thought that we as a team at Nandos would be helping David and Mark. Instead, I’ve realised that David and Mark have had a much greater impact on our team. We’ve benefitted from having them as part of our restaurant, not the other way around.Alice Winter, Store Manager, Nando’s
Nando’s Warrington partnered with Petty Pool to provide supported internship opportunities for two learners.
With support from our Job Coach and the Nando’s team, both learners developed valuable workplace skills, confidence, and experience while becoming valued members of the team.
Their story highlights the positive impact that inclusive work experience opportunities can have for both learners and employers.
Could You Offer a Placement?
We are always keen to hear from employers who can provide supportive and inclusive work experience opportunities. Whether you’re a small business, charity, public sector organisation, or national employer, we’d love to discuss how we can work together.
