A huge thank you to for providing Darcie, one of our Year 10 students, with such a fantastic work experience opportunity. Throughout her placement, Darcie has been exploring a variety of roles within the Council's Library Services, gaining valuable insight into the many different careers available in local government. Today, she's been working on a project focused on "Possibilities" – Plymouth City Council's People Strategy – learning how the Council is developing its workforce and working alongside partners to support the future of our city. Based in the iconic 3 Elliott Terrace, generously gifted to the Council by Lady Nancy Astor, Darcie has not only gained hands-on workplace experience but has also discovered some fascinating local history along the way. Experiences like these are invaluable in helping our students develop new skills, build confidence and explore future career pathways. Thank you once again to Plymouth City Council for supporting our students and investing in the next generation. #WorkExperience #Year10 #SirJohnHunt #PlymouthCityCouncil #CareersEducation #FutureReady #LibraryServices
