AJP DISRUPT WORK EXPERIENCE WITH INNOVATIVE NEW PROGRAMME

In the wake of the October report by The Key Group, which reveals that less than half (49%) of year 10 pupils are participating in work experience, Liverpool City Region based AJP Ltd have launched an innovative new work experience programme with Springpod. 

They are reimagining work experience for pupils and students to provide access to the Civil Engineering sector through an innovative, free, virtual work experience programme. The programme disrupts traditional methods of work experience to unlock the secrets of civil and structural engineering for students in secondary, further and higher education which will include over 7 hours of content.

Director Kenny O’Brien commented:

“At AJP Ltd, we’re reimagining work experience for students through our collaboration with Springpod. Our virtual work simulations provide immersive, digital environments that mirror real-world challenges in civil and structural engineering. This innovative approach disrupts traditional methods, offering over 7 hours of engaging content for secondary, further, and higher education students regardless of background.

“We’re proud to be the UK’s first SME in the civil and structural engineering sector to partner with Springpod on these cutting-edge work experience modules. 

“Our program levels the playing field, granting equal access to valuable industry insights and career opportunities. At the core of this partnership is our commitment to nurturing talent and raising aspirations for all. 

“We’re excited to offer free access to our online platform for schools and colleges across the UK, opening doors to the fascinating world of civil and structural engineering.”

Oliver Fisher – Co-Founder, Springpod continued:

“Springpod is a work-based learning platform aimed at helping students showcase their potential and connect with employers and universities. When young people are uncertain about their future career paths, they seek practical experience and insights to guide their decisions. However, with in-person opportunities often limited, our online solution widens access. We are excited to launch the Civil and Structural Engineering programme in partnership with AJP Ltd, aiming to inspire more young people to explore this dynamic field.”

Over the summer months AJP Ltd worked with an intern from the University of Liverpool to support the development of this programme which has already been nominated for two awards.
