One of the main aims of Myrrh is to support our Learners in gaining employment. This means that our links with employers are very important. Myrrh currently has a bank of placements that are used within Early Years/Childcare and Health & Social Care. All placements are vetted for health & safety prior to the learners engagement.

 

We have links in a number of varied ways:

 

This is where Learners have the opportunity of gaining real life work experience with employers appropriate to the type of jobs that Learners can expect to get when the qualify in their chosen field.

 

Myrrh has a dedicated member of staff [Irene Bormotova] who actively arranges work experience for our Learners. Irena also has close links with local careers and advice centres and is able to offer expert careers advice and guidance to Learners.

 

Most of our staff have close links with their relevant areas of work. Some colleagues [e.g. Painting & Decorating] currently work part-time in their professional fields and are able to bring the most up-to-date skills to teaching and learning.

 

We have good links with the Industry Standards organisations that ensure that we conform to the highest standards of practice. For example The Institute Of The Motor Industry regularly certificate us to guarantee quality of service to Learners.
