Supporting Young People on Their Journey into Business: Wenta’s Student Placement Programme
Building a business takes effort, but so does shaping the future of business leaders. At Wenta, we believe that supporting businesses is not just about those who are already running one — it is also about empowering those who will one day lead, innovate and contribute to the business community. That is why we are incredibly proud to work with North Hertfordshire College, giving students the chance to gain experience and develop their skills in a real business environment.
Each student has stepped into a different role, from working at reception and supporting clients to assisting with sustainability projects and facilities management. But what unites them is their ambition. Whether they dream of running their own business, working in sales, or exploring different career paths, this placement is a chance to build confidence and figure out what they want to do next.
We are grateful to North Hertfordshire College for their commitment to preparing students for the future and for trusting us to be part of that journey. Their focus on hands-on learning makes a real difference, ensuring students leave with both knowledge and experience.
Liz Chatman, Head of Curriculum - Sport, Public Services, Business and Travel at North Hertfordshire College, shared her thoughts on this collaboration:
“We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Wenta for their fantastic work in offering industry placements to Business students at North Hertfordshire College. These invaluable opportunities provide our students with hands-on experience, bridging the gap between education and employment. By working alongside professionals in real-world settings, our students gain essential skills, confidence, and insight into their chosen industries — ensuring they are well-prepared for their next steps after completing their programmes. The support and guidance from Wenta truly enhance the student experience, helping to shape the workforce of the future. Thank you, Wenta, for your continued commitment to empowering young talent!”
We see the difference these placements make every day. Emma Wright, our Head of Business and Advice Team, has worked closely with students and knows just how much they take away from the experience:
“It is great to see young people come in with big ambitions and get the chance to work towards them. Some of them want to run their own businesses one day, others are still figuring out which direction to take — and that is okay. What matters is that they are getting real experience, learning how businesses operate and seeing what they enjoy. We are proud to support them on that journey.”
