The importance of inclusive work experiences for young people

The RecordShop is excited to announce our recent partnership with students from Mencap and Grove School here in Haringey, offering meaningful work experience opportunities. Through this initiative, students will participate in work experience tailored to introduce them to various aspects of a professional workplace, including customer service and managing creative projects. This opportunity is designed not only to provide hands-on experience, but to also build their confidence and interpersonal skills in a real-world environment, preparing them for life beyond the classroom. 

This collaboration highlights the importance of inclusive work experiences for young people, especially those with learning disabilities or additional needs. 

By engaging with tasks and responsibilities at The RecordShop, students gain practical skills, improve their problem-solving abilities and build valuable connections with the local community. 

Such opportunities empower them to see their potential, build self-reliance and better navigate future employment. 

We are thrilled to play a role in supporting their growth and creating a more inclusive and supportive local environment.
