WORK EXPERIENCE WITH STANLEY BLACK AND DECKER

Students at Fairfield Farm College were able to enjoy a ‘hands on’ work experience session with a difference recently. Due to COVID-19, the team at Fairfield Farm College have had to think of additional ways of providing students work experience opportunities.

The college, based in Dilton Marsh, recently started working with Stanley Black and Decker on various careers related projects, helping students gain confidence with current and upcoming technologies. Recently, Richard from Stanley Black and Decker paid the college a visit to run a technology workshop for five students. In this workshop, students learnt about working in the technology sector and the different variety of jobs available. The students were then able to get hands on and learn about door access systems.

Building on from this, the students involved will undertake some remote virtual work experience sessions, carrying out product testing and providing feedback. Darren Barber, Careers Manager at Fairfield Farm College said “We are thrilled to be working with such an exciting company, and a massive thank you to Richard for taking the time to visit our students, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves”.
