Working With Local Businesses
At Maltby Academy we continue to develop strong links with local employers. We work with them in our Careers programme in various ways. Some employers come into school and talk to our students about their businesses. They discuss what the job is like, along with what skills and qualifications are desired. Some employers help to carry out mock interviews with students and provide useful feedback. Students complete work experience in Year 12 and many local employers facilitate this by organising for them to work in their businesses for the week.

Here are some apprenticeships from large local employers:

Barclays                     Bentley                                Jaguar Land Rover
Airbus                         Atos                                       Arnold Clark                         Vodafone
