Supporting future talent: a positive work experience at Corserv

We were delighted to welcome a recent work experience student from Step into Learning to Corserv, providing them with the opportunity to gain first-hand insight into a range of roles across our organisation.

During their placement, they spent time at both New County Hall and Chy Trevail, learning about carbon emissions and exploring the work being undertaken to support Cornwall Council's environmental commitments. They also spent time with our HR Operations team, gaining an understanding of colleague onboarding processes and how we support new starters across the business.

Reflecting on their experience, the student said:

“My experience at Corserv for my work experience was really good. I got to work out of New County Hall and Chy Trevail. I learnt how to calculate the amount of carbon Corserv produces with staff travel. I also learnt about Cornwall Council's commitment to that and its environmental impact. I appreciated Stuart taking time out of his day to teach me about his job. I also spent a day with the HR team learning about new staff onboarding processes. This has all given me a good insight into the business. I would recommend it for a work experience placement for someone with similar interests to me.”

A special thank you to Stuart Wright for sharing his expertise and providing valuable insight into his role, and to our HR Operations Team for taking the time to showcase our onboarding processes and helping to create a positive and engaging experience for this student.

We're proud to offer meaningful work experience opportunities that help young people explore potential career paths, develop new skills and gain an understanding of the wide range of services delivered across the Corserv Group. Helping to inspire and develop future talent is an important part of what we do, and we're pleased to have played a role in this student's career journey.
