Duration: 3 Days

Closing Date: 04/03/2022

Age: 14+

What can you do to save our planet? Is it enough to just recycle or do we need to do more? Can you have a good career and help the planet at the same time?

This opportunity will connect you with some impressive engineering, business and sustainable firms where you will discover the breadth of opportunities available to you. You will take part in activities that will immerse you in the world of sustainability so that you can see how you can really make an impact and the careers that are available to you!

While each session is sector-focussed, our three-day Virtual Work Experiences offer insightful interactions and an overview of industries in our region. This structured and sustainable-led initiative is delivered entirely live and online, helping you to explore the world of work directly from the classroom or home. There’s a focus on discovering sectors and raising aspirations, with an emphasis on the varied roles in each industry.

The High Tide Foundation creates opportunities for young people to enhance their career education. The foundation has many years experience in providing `life changing` work experience to young people and the opportunities cover a range of different sectors from Law, Finance, Engineering, Media, Shipping, Automotive and many more.

Placement is 10am-3pm each day

"“This has been so educational, not only for the students but also the teachers; I had no idea of what really went on down here. This is great knowledge that I can take back with me and share with the other colleagues and students.”"

Teacher, Middlesbrough

""It was very informative and was definitely worth every minute. The speakers and staff were very kind and helped us all build a better understanding of the world of engineering. This was an insight I doubt I could have gotten anywhere else.""

Year 7 Student, Redcar

"“I am grateful for the help and life changing experience High Tide have gave me and believe that I wouldn’t have got this chance anywhere else. I believe that without high tide I would have never received or had an opportunity to gain valuable experience and knowledge”"
