As the local MP, I am a big supporter of apprenticeships, and was delighted to have the opportunity to present the awards soon after I was elected at the NITAL annual awards ceremony. And, I am very keen to offer work experience opportunities to students from across Corby & East Northamptonshire - not least because this is how I started out! These placements give the young people an insight in to local and national politics and a chance to boost their skills. Those who come for work experience are able to help with a number of tasks:
-
Researching an issue.
-
Taking press-cuttings.
-
Writing press releases.
-
Accompanying me to meetings or events in the House of Commons, or in the constituency.
-
Assisting with general office duties.
-
Watch debates in the House of Commons, observe Select Committee Hearings, and see debates in Westminster Hall.
Please contact me to enquire about work experience in my office.
