Towards the end of last year, we hosted two successful T-Level assessment centres, supporting the next generation of talent as captured in this video, commissioned by the Department for Education. At our PAS site, we welcomed Science T-Level students from Buckinghamshire College for a full mock assessment centre. They explored the site and its impact across the scientific, food and drink industries, took part in a group activity, and completed individual interviews to build their confidence and professional skills. We’re thrilled that five of these students have now begun their 315‑hour industry placement with us as of 3rd November 2025. Following this success, our St Albans Head Office hosted a similar experience for Business T-Level students from Oaklands College. After an office tour, an assessed activity and interviews with our HR team, two exceptional students have accepted placements within our L&D function, these started in February. ...Show more
