Work experience provides a crucial opportunity for the development of vital employability skills. It can take place at any point, but for most it's something which happens during secondary school. For many, that week or two will be the first taste of working life. For all it is a valuable experience; developing employability skills is essential alongside traditional academic qualifications to help prepare for life after school, college and university. We are committed to provide a work experience service that supports young people, schools, colleges and businesses to work together to achieve meaningful and safe work experience as simply as possible. Our Health and Safety professionals undertake duty of care checks with employers for work experience placements to ensure they are assessed/reviewed as suitable and compliant to provide a student placement. We are looking to upgrade our existing Work Experience platform to a modern online platform which will move with us into the future, to deliver a first class service to our schools, colleges and students. CSW are committed to an Environmentally friendly policy and require a platform which will allow us to move towards a paperless operation in the future. The Platform will need to allow CSW Group to manage its Work Experience portfolio of schools, colleges and students enabling the latter to search an extensive database of employers, access employer contact details and once a placement is secured upload the information to progress towards Health & Safety status checks. CSW Staff will need to be able to see the Health & Safety check status of any employer currently on the database and allocate to a Health & Safety Officer should an updated check be required. If an employer is new to the database CSW Group will need to upload this information to the platform to then enable a H&S check to be allocated. The H&S Officer will need the functionality to work offline and automatically upload information when Wifi is re-accessed. The platform will need to meet all the criteria stated in the full specification and will be required to hold information on more than 48,000 employers across the wider South West. The platform will need to allow access for CSW Staff and up to 150 schools/colleges and 16,000 students by secure log in/pins. The platform provider will need to provide a secure database for CSW Group to process confidential information. The platform provider will need to hold all relevant certifications including Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001. CSW Group will be looking to secure a contract of 3 years with a break clause after six months should the platform not meet the required specifications. Example costing to be at £30000 per annum over 3 years.
