Thames Water visit

Our WorkStart students were pleased to welcome Thames Water to deliver a presentation on the Apprenticeship programme they offer. The students were really interested and excited by the opportunity and some are planning on applying at the end of their courses.

Leigh Maxfield, Employment & Skills Partner for Thames Water commented; “At Thames Water, apprenticeships play a key role in our success in delivering life’s essential service to our customers, and we have a great track record in helping our apprentices develop their careers. We are excited to share our apprenticeship offer with this fantastic pool of talent at Orchard Hill College. We are passionate at Thames Water that opportunities are open for all in our communities that we serve. The students had some excellent questions about the Thames Water apprenticeship scheme and I really enjoyed having a chat with them about their studies at the college and ambitions for the future.”

Outcomes for learners are outstanding, teaching, learning and assessment are excellent and the extremely diverse programmes that meet learners’ individual needs, interests and aspirations, prepare them very well for life after College.
