WBEBP Awards


The West Berkshire Education Business Partnership presented awards to local employers today at the restaurant of the Watermill Theatre.

There were quite a few awards handed out to different categories of companies who have worked with the WBEBP over the year. Most were in connection with work experience offered to secondary children in year 10, but some are for sixth form placements. The partnership places about 2,000 children a year with local firms and charities and is always looking for new companies to join the scheme.
