Delivered by Southwark Council with over 20 years of experience brokering school-business relationships, the Southwark Education Business Alliance (SEBA) connects local schools, special schools, and employers to prepare young people for the world of work. Our dedicated Work Experience Team coordinates pre-16 and post-16 student placements across Southwark and London, managing placement matching, employer vetting, and safeguarding checks to reduce risk and workload for partner schools. Alongside workplace placements—including targeted support for young people with SEND and students without existing professional networks—we deliver workplace readiness preparation, business insight visits, mentoring, and employer-led careers fairs aligned with the Gatsby Benchmarks.
