The London Borough of Bexley supports young people across the borough through structured council work experience placements, employer-led industry placements, and dedicated employability services. Working closely with local schools, colleges, and Bexley employers, the council bridges the gap between education and the workplace to help students explore public and private sector careers.

Our programmes include structured one-week council placements for Years 10 to 13—giving students hands-on insight into departments such as Legal, Finance, IT, HR, and Environmental Services—alongside 18+ university study placements. Through Bexley Business & Employment (BBE), we also partner with local businesses to coordinate one-week work experience, T Level industry placements, and tailored pre-employment support for young people and adults with additional needs.
